1. O my Redeemer, What a friend Thou art to me! Oh, what a refuge I have found in Thee! When the way was dreary, And my heart was sore oppressed, ’Twas Thy voice that lulled me To a calm sweet rest. Refrain Nearer, draw nearer, Till my soul is lost in Thee; Nearer, draw nearer, Blessèd Lord, to me. 2. When in their beauty Stars unveil their silver light, Then, O my Savior, Give me songs at night— Songs of yonder mansions, Where the dear ones, gone before, Sing Thy praise for ever, On that peaceful shore. [Refrain] 3. Jesus, my Savior, When the last deep shadows fall; When in the silence I shall hear Thy call— In Thine arms reposing, Let me breathe my life away, And awake triumphant, In eternal day. [Refrain]
