O . my Redeemer , what a Friend Thou art to me O, what a refuge I have found in Three; Where the way was dreary, and my heart was sore oppressed, "Twas Thy voice that lulled me to a calm sweet rest.
Nearer, draw nearer, till my soul is lost in Thee Nearer, draw nearer, blessed Lord to me!
When in their beauty , stars unveil their silver light Then ,O my Saviour , give me songs at night, Songs of yonder mansions, where the dear ones gone before, Sing Thy praise for ever on that peaceful shore.
Jesus , my Saviour ,when the last deep shadows fall, When in the silence, I shall hear Thy call, In Thine arms,reposing ,let me breathe my life away And awake triumphant in eternal day.
