Draw Me Nearer

I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Your voice, And it told Your love to me; But I long to rise in the arms of faith And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer To the cross where Thou hast died; Draw me nearer To Your precious bleeding side.

There are great 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.

You draw me with Your mercy, You draw me with Your love. You draw me with forgiveness by Your blood. You draw me with compassion, You draw me as a bride. You draw me closer to Your precious side.

Consecrate me now to Your service, Lord, By the power of grace divine; Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope And my will be lost in Thine.

Draw me nearer.
