Arranged By A. Bierly.

1. Jesus, my Savior,
Teach me to love Thee,
Let my heart rejoice;
I have strayed far from Thee,
Yet my soul would near Thee be,

Nearer to my Savior,
Nearer, Lord, to Thee

REFRAIN.
Jesus, my Savior,
Let me hear Thy gentle voice,
Teach me to love Thee,
Let my heart rejoice.

2. Sweetly the Savior
Whispers to the Christian heart
Words of sweet comfort
That ne'er depart;
Faith will bring thee blessing,
Faith will strengthen ev'ry prayer;
Come to Him confessing,
Come to Him in prayer.

Refrain.
