DRAW ME NEARER, BLESSED GOD

FANNY J. CROSBY

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,

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed lord,
To the cross where thou hath died,
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed lord,
to thy precious, bleeding side

2. Consecrate me now to thy service, lord
By the power of grace divine
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in thine,

3. Oh, 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 a friend with friend!

4. There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea
There are height of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with thee.
