Refrain: I would be closer to Thee, I would be closer to Thee; Closer each day, my heart doth say, Closer, my Lord, to Thee. I would be closer for shelter, Just leaning upon Thy breast, Trusting my all on the altar, Thou givest me sweeter rest. I would be closer for guidance, Oh, let me not go astray, Feeling the blessed assurance That brightens my hope each day. Closer to Jesus my helper, His merits I humbly plead, Drawing from heaven my treasure, The grace I shall daily need.

I would be closer, my Savior,
Yes, closer to Thee each day,
Filled with Thy Spirit and power,
And walking the holy way.
- Refrain:
  I would be closer to Thee,
  I would be closer to Thee;
  Closer each day, my heart doth say,
  Closer, my Lord, to Thee.
I would be closer for shelter,
Just leaning upon Thy breast,
Trusting my all on the altar,
Thou givest me sweeter rest.
I would be closer for guidance,
Oh, let me not go astray,
Feeling the blessed assurance
That brightens my hope each day.
Closer to Jesus my helper,
His merits I humbly plead,
Drawing from heaven my treasure,
The grace I shall daily need.
