Blessèd Re­deem­er, full of com­pas­sion,
Great is Thy mer­cy, bound­less and free;
Now in my weak­ness, seek­ing Thy fa­vor,
Lord, I am com­ing clos­er to Thee.

Refrain

Blessèd Re­deem­er, won­der­ful Sav­ior,
Fountain of wis­dom, An­cient of Days,
Hope of the faith­ful, light of all ag­es,
Jesus my Sav­ior, Thee will I praise.

Blessèd Re­deem­er, Thou art my re­fuge,
Under Thy watch-care, safe I shall be;
Gladly ador­ing, joy­ful­ly trust­ing,
Still I am com­ing clos­er to Thee.

Refrain

Blessèd Re­deem­er, gra­cious and ten­der,
Now and for­ev­er dwell Thou in me;
Thou, my pro­tect­or, shield and de­fend­er,
Draw me and keep me clos­er to Thee.
