306. Draw Me Nearer

Eb          Bb7                  Eb
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard thy voice,

       Ab               Eb
And it told Thy love to me;

           Bb7                 Eb
But I long to rise in the arms of faith

       Ab   Fm Bb    Bb7 Eb
And be clos-er drawn to Thee.

Eb              Ab              Eb
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

       Ab    Eb    Bb7  Eb   Bb
To the cross where Thou hast died.

Eb                      Ab
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

       Eb        Bb       Eb
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!
