I am thine O, Lord, I have heard thy voice
And it's told thy love to me
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to thee.
So draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the cross where thou has died
So draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To thy precious bleeding side.
Consecrate me now to thy service Lord
By the power of grace divine
Let my soul look up
With a steadfast hope
And my will be lost in thine.
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
So draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the cross where thou has died
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To thy precious bleeding side
So draw me nearer, so much nearer blessed Lord
To the place where thou has died
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To thy precious bleeding side
