DAD
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
GD
And it told Thy love to me;
AD
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
GAD
And be closer drawn to Thee.
[Chorus]
GD
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
GA
To the cross where Thou hast died;
DF#mGEm
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
DAD
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
[Verse 2]
DAD
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
GD
By the pow’r of grace divine;
AD
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
GAD
And my will be lost in Thine.
[Chorus]
GD
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
GA
To the cross where Thou hast died;
DF#mGEm
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
DAD
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
[Verse 3]
DAD
Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
GD
That before Thy throne I spend,
AD
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
GAD
I commune as friend with friend!
[Chorus]
GD
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
GA
To the cross where Thou hast died;
DF#mGEm
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
DAD
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
[Verse 4]
DAD
There are depths of love that I cannot know
GD
Till I cross the narrow sea;
AD
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
GAD
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
[Chorus]
GD
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
GA
To the cross where Thou hast died;
DF#mGEm
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
DAD
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
