Lyrics
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, nearer, blessed Lord
To the cross where Thou art dying
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord
To the precious, bleeding side
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord
By the power of Thy grace divine
May my soul look up with a steadfast hope
And my will be lost in Thine
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord
To the cross where Thou art dying
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord
To the precious, bleeding side
Oh, the pure delight of this 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, nearer, blessed Lord
To the cross where Thou art dying
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord
To the precious, bleeding side
