Verse 1

I would draw nearer to Jesus, In His sweet presence abide, Constantly trying to serve Him, Safe and secure at His side.

Refrain

I would draw nearer to Jesus, I would draw nearer to Him; Fully surrendered each moment, I would draw nearer to Him.

Verse 2

I would draw nearer to Jesus, Seeking His strength to be true, Willing to tell of His goodness, Gladly His blest will to do.
