Draw Me Nearer, Blessed Lord

4 verses · With chorus

Verse 1

I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice, And it told Thy love to me; But I long to rise in the arms of faith, And be closer drawn to Thee.

Chorus

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord, To the cross where Thou hast died; Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To Thy precious, bleeding side.

Verse 2

Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, By the pow'r of grace divine; Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, And my will be lost in Thine.

Verse 3

Oh, the pure delight of a single hour, That before Thy throne I spend, When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee my God, I commune as friend with friend!

Verse 4

There are depths of love that I cannot know Till I cross the narrow sea; There are heights of joy that I may not reach Till I rest in peace with Thee.
