  1. 1I 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, blessed Lord,(nearer, nearer)To the cross where Thou hast died;Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,To Thy precious bleeding side.
  2. 2Consecrate 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.Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,(nearer, nearer)To the cross where Thou hast died;Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,To Thy precious bleeding side.
  3. 3O the pure delight of a single hourThat before Thy throne I spend,When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,I commune as friend with friend.Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,(nearer, nearer)To the cross where Thou hast died;Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,To Thy precious bleeding side.
  4. 4There are depths of love that I cannot knowTill I cross the narrow sea;There are heights of joy that I may not reachTill I rest in peace with Thee.Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,(nearer, nearer)To the cross where Thou hast died;Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,To Thy precious bleeding side.
