Let me come closer to Thee, Lord Jesus

Let me come closer to Thee, Lord Jesus,
  Oh, closer day by day;
Let me lean harder on Thee, Lord Jesus,
  Yes, harder, all the way.

Let me show forth Thy beauty, Lord Jesus,
  Like sunshine on the hills;
Oh, let my lips pour forth all Thy sweetness
  In joyous sparkling rills.

Yes, like a channel, precious Lord Jesus,
  Make me and let me be;
Keep me and use me daily, Lord Jesus,
  For Thee, for only Thee.

In all my heart and will, O Lord Jesus,
  Be altogether king;
Make me a loyal subject, Lord Jesus,
  To Thee in everything.

Thirsting and hungering for Thee, Lord Jesus,
  With blessed hunger here.
Longing for New Jerusalem’s fullness—
  No thirst, no hunger there.
