4
Take a sword now into your hands,
And be strong inside your heart;
Take your consecrated spirit,
Face the giant, conquer sin.
5
The Lord God of every vengeance,
Stands beside you in the fray;
He will give you might and courage,
As bestowed on David King.

....................... t'E:iitil 6{t(SENOR
Ps 145.1Bfi'iiiiSE°C:'R'i\tioNT Ps·'!'ii.i TRUST
Nearer, my God to Thee, nearer to Thee,
Even though it be a cross, that raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be, nearer my God to Thee,
Nearer my God to thee, nearer to Thee.
2
Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be, nearer my God to Thee,
Nearer my God to thee, nearer to Thee.
3
There let the way appear, steps unto heaven,
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given;
Angels to beckon me, nearer my God to Thee,
Nearer my God to thee, nearer to Thee.

80. NEARER STILL NEARER
CERCA, MAS CERCA
Ps '.i'i;:10 toN'sEtRii:tibN'
Nearer still nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my SavioF, so precious Thou art;
Fold me, oh, fold me close to Thy breast!
//Shelter me safe in that Haven of Rest//
