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
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
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
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
there are depths of love
that i yet may know
ere thee face to face i see
there are heights of joy
that i yet may reach
ere 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
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
