[Verse 1]
G D G
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
G C Am D G
And be clos-er drawn to Thee.
[Refrain]

To the cross where Thou hast died.

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer bless-ed Lord,
G D G
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
[Verse 2]

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

And my will be lost in Thine.

Draw me near-er, nearer bless-ed Lord,

When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God

I com-mune as friend with friend!

There are depths of love that I can-not know
G C G
Till I cross the narrow sea;

There are heights of joy that I may not reach
G C Am D G
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
