Verse 1

SAVIOUR, blessèd Saviour, Listen while we sing; Hearts and voices ringing Praises to our King: All we have to 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, Cam’st on earth to die; Thou, that we might follow, Hast gone up on high.

Verse 3

Clearer still and clearer Dawns the light from Heaven, In our sadness bringing News of sin forgiven; Life has lost its shadows, Pure the light within; Thou hast shed Thy radiance On a world of sin.

Verse 4

Onward, ever onward, Journeying o’er the road Worn by saints before us, Journeying on to 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 ransomed soul, Earthly toils forgetting, Savior, to its goal; Where in joys unthought of, Saints with angels sing, Never weary, raising Praises to their King.
