321. SEMPRE DE TI MAIS PERTO

1 Sempre de Ti mais perto, ó Cristo,
Mais perto, sim, de Ti;
Que eu veja mais da Tua graça,
Da Tua glória ali.

2 Em mim, em todo o ser, ó Cristo,
Que sejas sempre Rei!
Sim, quero ser a Ti submisso,
Leal à Tua lei.

3 Dá-me a mostrar em toda a vida
O Teu divino amor;
Que fale a minha boca sempre
De Ti, meu Salvador!

4 Enche-me mais e mais, ó Cristo,
Da Tua compaixão;
Que seja o meu amor reflexo
Do Teu bom coração.

5 Oh, seja o meu viver só Cristo
E Cristo o meu morrer!
A vida e a morte transformaste
Pra mim, por Teu poder.
