Savior, more than life to me

236 Every Day and Hour. 7. 9. 7. 9. with Refrain.

1 Savior, more than life to me,
   I am clinging, clinging close to Thee;
   Let Thy precious blood applied,
   Keep me ever, ever near Thy side.

Refrain:
   Ev'ry day, ev'ry hour,
   Let me feel thy cleansing pow'r;
   May Thy tender love to me
   Bind me closer, closer, Lord, to Thee.

2 Through this changing world below,
   Lead me gently, gently as I go;
   Trusting Thee, I cannot stray,
   I can never, never lose my way. [Refrain]

3 Let me love Thee more and more,
   Till this fleeting, fleeting life is o'er;
   Till my soul is lost in love,
   In a brighter, brighter world above. [Refrain]
