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. |
