[Verse 1]
D A D
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
G D
And it told Thy love to me;
A D
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
G A D
And be closer drawn to Thee.
[Chorus]
G D
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
G A
To the cross where Thou hast died;
D G Em
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
D A D
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
[Verse 2]
D A D
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
G D
By the pow’r of grace divine;
A D
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
G A D
And my will be lost in Thine.
[Chorus]
G D
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
G A
To the cross where Thou hast died;
D G Em
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
D A D
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
[Verse 3]
D A D
Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
G D
That before Thy throne I spend,
A D
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
G A D
I commune as friend with friend!
[Chorus]
G D
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
G A
To the cross where Thou hast died;
D G Em
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
D A D
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
[Verse 4]
D A D
There are depths of love that I cannot know
G D
Till I cross the narrow sea;
A D
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
G A D
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
[Chorus]
G D
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
G A
To the cross where Thou hast died;
D G Em
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
D A D
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
