Text:Be Near Me, O my Saviour
Author:El Nathan
Tune:[Be near me, O my Saviour]
Composer:James McGranahan

33. Be Near Me, O my Saviour

1 Be near me, O my Saviour,
Reveal to me Thy grace,
And help me live each moment
As gazing on Thy face.

2 Dwell in me, O my Saviour,
That I may dwell in Thee,
And know, by thus abiding,
How Thou canst make me free.

3 Thy life to me imparted,
In fullness from above,
Be all my strength for service,
Be all my pow’r to love.

4 Thro’ Thee to evil dying,
With Thee to God I’ll live,
For Thee myself denying,
By grace that Thou dost give.

5 Thus in the Spirit living,
I shall responsive be,
My service gladly giving,
And live for only Thee.
