Make me Savoir, this my plea.
Until the message that I send
Is “Jesus is my closest friend!”
Closer to they holiness
Others with Thy love to bless
This, O Lord, my highest quest:
Closer and closer to Jesus!
Closer, dearer, Lord to Thee
Precious Lord of Calvary.
E’er make me patient, always kind
That others may salvation find.
Closer to they loveliness
They will be – for it is best!
This, O Lord, my dearest quest:
Closer and closer to Jesus!
Closer, dearer, Lord to Thee
So that all who watch may see.
My Lord, my Savior, Jesus Christ
Through the channel of my life.
Closer to Thy lowliness
More of Thee and of me, less.
This, O Lord, my only quest:
Closer and closer to Jesus!
Closer, dearer, Lord to Thee
Throughout all eternity.
Fore’er, I’ll join the glorious song
To Thee, O Lord, glory belongs.
Closer to Thy sinlessness
Shine through me through all earthly tests.
Through eternity this my quest:
Closer and closer to Jesus!
