Hymn
Savior, More than Life to Me
Saviour, more than life to me,
I am clinging, clinging close to Thee;
Let Thy precious blood applied,
Keep me ever, ever near Thy side.
Ev'ry day, ev'ry hour,
Let me feel Thy cleansing pow'r
May Thy tender love to me
Bind me closer, closer, Lord to Thee.
Thro' this changing world below,
Lead me gently, gently as I go,
Trusting Thee, I cannot stray,
I can never, never lose my way.
I would love Thee more and more,
Till this fleeting, fleeting life is o'er,
Till my soul is lost in love
In a brighter, brighter world above.
