Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Saviour, blessed Saviour; Listen while we sing;
Hearts and voices raising; Praises to our King.
All we have we offer; All we hope to be,
Body, soul and spirit; All we yield to Thee.
VERSE 2
Nearer, ever nearer; Christ we draw to Thee,
Deep in adoration; Bending low the knee;
Thou for our redemption; Camst on earth to die;
Thou that we might follow; Hast gone up on high.
VERSE 3
Great and ever greater; Are Thy mercies here;
True and everlasting; Are the glories there;
Where no pain or sorrow; Toil or care is known;
Where the angel legions; Circle round Thy throne.
VERSE 4
Onward, ever onward; Journeying on the road;
Worn by saints before us; Journeying unto God;
Leaving all behind us; May we hasten on;
Backward, never looking; Till the prize is won.
VERSE 5
Higher, then and higher; Bear the ransom'd soul;
Earthly toil forgotten; Saviour, to its goal;
Where in joy unthought of; Saints with angels sing;
Never weary raising; Praises to our King.
