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 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 steadfast hope, And my will be lost in Thine. 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 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. 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 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. 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
