1. Let me come closer to Thee, Jesus,

Oh, closer day by day!

Let me lean harder on Thee, Jesus

Yea, harder all the way.

2. Let me show forth Thy beauty, Jesus

Like sunshine on the hills,

Oh let my lips pour forth thy sweetness

In joyous, sparkling rills!

3. Yes, like a fountain precious Jesus,

Make me and let me be;

Keep me and use me daily, Jesus,

For Thee, and only Thee

4. In all my heart and will, o Jesus,

Be altogether, King!

Make me a loyal subject, Jesus,

To Thee in everything.

5. Thirsting and hungering for thee, Jesus,

With blessed hunger here,

Longing for home in Zion's mountain

No thirst, no hunger there.

Amen.

1. Je ki nsun mo O l’ojojumo

Jesu Olugbala

Je ki ngb’ara le O si, Jesu

Ni gbogbo ona mi.

2. Je ki n fe Ewa Re han, Jesu,

Bi orun lo’roke

Je ki ete mi so adun Re,

Pelu ayo toto,

3. Je ki ndabi orisun omi,

Ma lo mi l0jojumo, Jesu,

Fun ogo Re nikan

4. Lokan ati l’ero mi, Jesu,

J’oba patapata

Je ki njeni oloto, Jesu,

Si O l’ohun gbogbo.

5. Mo nk’ebi at’ongbe Re, Jesu,

Ebi at’okan wa;

Mo nsaferi ‘le mi ni Sion;

Nibit’Olorun wa.

AMIN
