Draw Me Nearer

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.

Refrain ~

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 power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
     And my will be lost in Thine.

Verse 3 ~

O 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 and dwell with Thee.
