Hymn for Sunday

Savior, More than Life

Words by: Fanny Crosby
Music by: W.H. Doane

You can hear the music to this hymn Here

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.


Every day, every hour,

Let me feel Thy cleansing pow’r;

May Thy tender love to me

Bind me closer, closer, Lord to Thee.


Through this changing world below,
Lead me gently, gently as I go;

Trusting Thee, I cannot stray,

I can never, never lose my way.


Every day, every hour,

Let me feel Thy cleansing pow’r;

May Thy tender love to me
Bind me closer, closer, Lord to Thee.

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.


Every day, every hour,

Let me feel Thy cleansing pow’r;

May Thy tender love to me

Bind me closer, closer, Lord to Thee.

Oh Sarah, both the words and the tune are beautiful! I've been musing, humming, and thinking on it for over a week now! I love old hymns!
