306. Draw Me Nearer

Ab          Eb7                  Ab
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard thy voice,

       Db               Ab
And it told Thy love to me;

           Eb7                 Ab
But I long to rise in the arms of faith

       Db   Bbm Eb   Eb7 Ab
And be clos-er drawn to Thee.

Ab              Db              Ab
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

       Db    Ab    Eb7  Ab   Eb
To the cross where Thou hast died.

Ab                      Db
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

       Ab        Eb       Ab
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

[Verse 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.

[Refrain]
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.

[Verse 2]
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
May my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

[Verse 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!
