Lift me higher, blessèd Mas­ter,
Higher still into the light,
Up above the fearful shadows
Of earth’s sin and gloom and night.

Refrain

Higher, Sav­ior,
Nearer to Thy piercèd side,
With Thy loving arms about me,
Let me ev­er­more abide.

Hold me closer, blessèd Mas­ter,
In a firm and fond embrace;
Let no shadows pass between me
And the glo­ry of Thy face.

Refrain

Make me purer, blessèd Mas­ter,
Pure in purpose, deed and heart;
May the purity of Je­sus
Of my own life form a part.
