306. Draw Me Nearer

B           F#7                  B
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard thy voice,

       E                B
And it told Thy love to me;

           Gb7                 B
But I long to rise in the arms of faith

       E    C#m F#   F#7 B
And be clos-er drawn to Thee.

B               E               B
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

       E     B     F#7  B    F#
To the cross where Thou hast died.

B                       E
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

       B         F#       B
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!
