 1  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.

 

 2  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.

 

 3  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.

 

 4  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.
