Refrain: Life without Thee would be dreary, Cheerless all my path would be; But while walking in Thy presence, Heaven’s glory shines on me. Keep me near Thee, precious Savior, Many snares are by the way; ’Neath Thy balmy wings protect me, Draw me nearer Thee each day. Help me live so near Thee, Jesus, That Thy whispers I may hear, Let me feel Thy arms around me When the hand of danger’s near. Draw me nearer, blessed Jesus, Closely fold me to Thy breast; Pillowed on Thy loving bosom, Let me ever sweetly rest.

Keep me near Thee, blessed Jesus,
Keep me near Thee lest I stray;
With Thy mighty hand uphold me,
Lead me gently all the way.
- Refrain:
  Life without Thee would be dreary,
  Cheerless all my path would be;
  But while walking in Thy presence,
  Heaven’s glory shines on me.
Keep me near Thee, precious Savior,
Many snares are by the way;
’Neath Thy balmy wings protect me,
Draw me nearer Thee each day.
Help me live so near Thee, Jesus,
That Thy whispers I may hear,
Let me feel Thy arms around me
When the hand of danger’s near.
Draw me nearer, blessed Jesus,
Closely fold me to Thy breast;
Pillowed on Thy loving bosom,
Let me ever sweetly rest.
