**Chords:**
C  G  Am  F 

C               G
I am Thine, O Lord,
          Am           F
I have heard Thy voice,
         C              G
And it told Thy love to me;
        Am              F
But I long to rise 
        C              G
In the arms of faith
         Am             F
And be closer drawn to Thee.

**Chorus:**
      C                G
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
      Am                F
To the cross where Thou hast died;
      C                G
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
      Am              F
To Thy precious, bleeding side. 

C                 G
Consecrate me now 
           Am            F
To Thy service, Lord,
         C                G
By the power of grace divine;
         Am             F
Let my soul look up 
         C              G
With a steadfast hope,
          Am               F
And my will be lost in Thine. 

**Chorus:**
      C                G
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
      Am                F
To the cross where Thou hast died;
      C                G
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
      Am              F
To Thy precious, bleeding side. 

C                G
Oh, the pure delight 
          Am           F
Of a single hour 
         C                 G
That before Thy throne I spend,
        Am                F
When I kneel in prayer, 
          C               G
And with Thee, my God,
          Am              F
I commune as friend with friend. 

**Chorus:**
      C                G
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
      Am                F
To the cross where Thou hast died;
      C                G
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
      Am              F
To Thy precious, bleeding side. 

C                G
There are depths of love 
          Am              F
That I cannot know 
         C                G
Till I cross the narrow sea;
        Am               F
There are heights of joy 
          C               G
That I may not reach 
          Am              F
Till I rest in peace with Thee. 

**Chorus:**
      C                G
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
      Am                F
To the cross where Thou hast died;
      C                G
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
      Am              F
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
