1. I would draw nearer to Jesus, In His sweet presence abide, Constantly trying to serve Him, Safe and secure at His side. Refrain: I would draw nearer to Jesus, I would draw nearer to Him; Fully surrendered each moment, I would draw nearer to Him 2. I would draw nearer to Jesus, Nothing withholding from Him Knowing He loves to be gracious, I would draw nearer to Him. 3. I would draw nearer to Jesus, Seeking His strength to be true, Willing to tell of His goodness, Gladly His blest will to do.
