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.

       G                     A
To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,

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;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,

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!

                G              D
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

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

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
       D         A        D
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
