Draw Me Nearer

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.

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

2Consecrate me now to Thy service,
Lord,
By the pow'r of grace divine;
May my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3O the pure delight of a single hour That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in pray'r, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!

4There 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.
