1.主，我更加亲近祢，更加亲近祢！
歇息在祢恩翼下，得蒙祢遮蔽；
罪恶狂风猛袭击，内心仇敌施进逼，
求主助我能胜利，更加亲近祢。
2.主，我更加亲近祢，更加亲近祢！
祢是灵磐避难所，我可得安息；
逆浪滚滚风暴急，怒云飞渡满天际，
投靠祢慈爱膀臂，更加亲近祢。
3.主，我更加亲近祢，更加亲近祢！
使我能与主一样，顺服父旨意；
苦恼当中寻甜蜜，黑夜之时见晨曦，
爱心路上能见祢，更加亲近祢。
4.主，我更加亲近祢，更加亲近祢！
神圣辉煌生命光，照亮我心地；
诗歌声中更近祢，永远住在祢爱里，
保守我永不分离，更加亲近祢。
1 Closer, Lord, to Thee I cling,
Closer still to Thee;
Safe beneath Thy shelt’ring wing
I would ever be;
Rude the blast of doubt and sin,
Fierce assaults without, within,
Help me, Lord, the battle win—
Closer, Lord, to Thee.
2 Closer yet, O Lord, my Rock,
Refuge of my soul;
Dread I not the tempest-shock,
Tho’ the billows roll:
Wildest storm cannot alarm
For, to me can come no harm,
Leaning on Thy loving arm;—
Closer, Lord, to Thee.
3 Closer still, my Help, my Stay,
Closer, closer still;
Meekly there I learn to say,
“Father, not my will;”
Learn that in affliction’s hour,
When the clouds of sorrow lower,
Love directs Thy hand of pow’r;—
Closer, Lord, to Thee.
4 Closer, Lord, to Thee I come,
Light of life Divine;
Through the ever blessed Son,
Joy and peace are mine;
Let me in Thy love abide,
Keep me ever near Thy side,
In the “Rock of Ages” hide;—
Closer, Lord, to Thee.
