Draw Me Nearer

Hymn 26 · by Fanny Crosby ยท Consecration

Verse 1

I am Thine, Oh! 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

Chorus

Draw me nearer, Nearer blessed Lord To the cross, Where Thou hast died Draw me nearer, Nearer blessed Lord To Thy precious bleeding side

Verse 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

Verse 3

Oh! The pure delight Of a single hour That before Thy throne I spend When I kneel in prayer, And with Thee my Lord I commune as friend with friend

Verse 4

There are heights of joy, That I may not reach Till I cross the narrow sea There are depths of love, That I may not know Till I rest at peace with Thee
