Draw Me Nearer

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.

Chorus:
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to Thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate 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.

O 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.

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.
