Draw me nearer
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
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious bleeding side,
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By Thy power of grace divine,
Let my sou look up with a steadfast hope,
And I will be lost in Thine.
Ohl The pure delight of a single hour,
That before Thy throne I spent
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend.
There are depths of love that cannot know,
Till the cross the narrow seas,
There are heights of joy that I may not reach,
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
