1.
Let me draw near to You, my God;
Even if I must carry Your cross,
Let my song forever be:
“Let me draw near to You, my God!
Let me draw near to You.”

2.
Like Your servant Jacob,
Even if I sleep at night in the wilderness
With a stone beneath my head,
May You be with me even in my dreams.
“Let me draw near to You, my God!
Let me draw near to You.”

3.
All the paths along which You lead me
Will shine like a stairway reaching heaven,
With angels calling me upward.
“Let me draw near to You, my God!
Let me draw near to You.”

4.
When I awaken, I will praise You.
I will make even my stone pillow
Into a Bethel—a place where I meet God.
And with my final breath,
I will still say:
“Let me draw near to You, my God!
Let me draw near to You.”
