306. Draw Me Nearer

E           B7                   E
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard thy voice,

       A                E
And it told Thy love to me;

           B7                  E
But I long to rise in the arms of faith

       A    F#m B    B7 E
And be clos-er drawn to Thee.

E               A               E
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

       A     E     B7   E    B
To the cross where Thou hast died.

E                       A
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

       E         B        E
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!
