Sere m pi pre ou, tou pre kè ou
Ou se trezò mwen, ou se Sovè m tou.
Kenbe m, o kenbe m, Bondye damou.
Fè m jwenn yon kote pou m kache nan ou. (2 fwa)

Sere m pi pre ou; m pa gen anyen,
Okenn bèl ofrann pou Jezi wa mwen;
Sèlman yon kè ki te plen peche.
Men mwen, Jezi, san ou koule pou mwen. (2 fwa)

Sere m pi pre ou, Senyè Jezi.
Se pa pou monn sa a kè mwen gen dezi.
Mwen lage peche ak tout lògèy.
Ban m sèlman Jezi Senyè m krisifye. (2 fwa)

Sere m pi pre ou, pandan vi sa a,
Jouk tan m a la avèk ou nan laglwa,
Pou mwen rete toujou avèk ou,
Pi pre ou Sovè m, pi pre ou toujou. (2 fwa)

Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art.
Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast,
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest. (2x)

Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
Naught as an offering to Jesus my King—
Only my sinful, now contrite heart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart. (2x)

Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine,
Sin with its follies I gladly resign,
All of its pleasures, pomp, and its pride,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified. (2x)

Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last,
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
Through endless ages, ever to be
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee. (2x)
