                     Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
                   Naught as an offering to Jesus, my King;
                     Only my sinful, now contrite heart,
               //Grant me the cleansing, Thy blood doth impart//
                                 3
                    Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine!
                      Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign;
                   All of its pleasures, pomps and its pride,
                   //Give me but Jesus, my Lord, crucified//
                                 4
                    Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last,
                     Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
                       Tho' endless ages ever to be,
                   //Nearer, my Savior still nearer to Thee//

               ///Surely this is House of our God/// It's His church,
           It's a doorway to heaven, hallowed, wonderful a place to behold!
                 What could be greater than House of the Lord,
                        And a doorway of heaven,
             God of Hosts, our Lord and Master, who gave us your Son,
             //How great is your name Lord// in all of this whole earth;
                   Thy seat of great glory, is in the heavens.

                    Together we all ////do exalt thee////
             Together we all //do exalt thee//praise your mighty name;
                  All together with the angels in the heavens.
                                 3
                   For your name alone is worthy of praise,
                  Mighty name, King of the Ages, eternal God;
                       Invincible, the only wise God,
