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

Oh 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

Yes 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 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

So 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

Yes draw me nearer nearer nearer blessed lord

To Thy precious bleeding side
