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. |
4
|
In all my heart and will, O Lord Jesus, Be altogether king; Make me a loyal subject, Lord Jesus, To Thee in everything. |
5

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

There are times when, as the two on the road to Emmaus, my heart burns with the presence and loving words of my Savior Jesus. Yet I find no words to express what is there in my heart. This hymn gave me words to release the fire of His love in prayer and praise to Him!
