Lord I Pray Nearer To Thee

I have a longing in this heart of mine
I want to be yes, to be nearer to Thee,
I want to be holy for I will be Thine
Draw me I pray day after day nearer to Thee.

CHORUS
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Oh (blessed Lord) x2 this Is my plea
I want to stand, on heaven's fair land (where I will be) x 2 nearer to Thee.

If I am faithful, Thy face I'll behold
Some happy day some day on heaven's shore
And I shall walk those streets of pure gold
Where I will be nearer to Thee.

CHORUS
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Oh (blessed Lord) x2 this Is my plea
I want to stand, on heaven^s fair land (where I will be) x 2 nearer to Thee.
