[G]	[|]	[C]	[|]	[C]	[|]	[D]	[|]	[G]

VERSE 1
I am [|][D7]Thine, O Lord, I have [|][G]heard Thy voice,
And it [|][C]told Thy love to [|][G]me;
But I [|][D7]long to rise in the [|][G]arms of faith,
And be [|][C]closer [D7]drawn to [|][G]Thee.

CHORUS
Draw me [|][G]near[G7]er, [|][C]nearer, blessed [G]Lord,
To the [|][C]cross where [Am]Thou hast [|][D7]died; Draw me [|]
[G]nearer, [G7]nearer, [|][C]nearer, blessed [Am][slow]Lord,
To Thy [|][G]precious, [D7]bleeding [|][G]side. [|][pause2]

VERSE 2
Conse[|][D7]crate me now to Thy [|][G]service, Lord,
By the [|][C]pow’r of grace [|][G]divine;
Let my [|][D7]soul look up with a [|][G]steadfast hope,
And my [|][C]will be [D7]lost in [|][G]Thine.

CHORUS
Draw me [|][G]near[G7]er,[|][C]nearer, blessed [G]Lord,
To the [|][C]cross where [Am]Thou hast [|][D7]died; Draw me [|]
[G]nearer, [G7]nearer, [|][C]nearer, blessed [Am][slow]Lord,
To Thy [|][G]precious, [D7]bleeding [|][G]side. [|][pause4]

VERSE 3
O the [|][D7]pure delight of a [|][G]single hour
That be [|][C]fore Thy throne I [|][G]spend,
When I [|][D7]kneel in prayer, and [|][G]with Thee, 
my God, I com[|][C]mune as [D7]friend [|][G]with friend!

CHORUS
Draw me [|][G]near[G7]er, [|][C]nearer, blessed [G]Lord,
To the [|][C]cross where [Am]Thou hast [|][D7]died; Draw me[|]
[G]nearer, [G7]nearer, [|][C]nearer, blessed [Am][slow]Lord,
To Thy [|][G]precious, [D7]bleeding [|][G]side. [|][pause4]

VERSE 4
There are [|][D7]depths of love that I can[|][G]not know
Till I [|][C]cross the narrow [|][G]sea;
There are [|][D7]heights of joy that I yet [|][G]may reach
Ere I [|][C]rest in [D7]peace [|][G]with Thee.

CHORUS
Draw me [|][G]near[G7]er, [|][C]nearer, blessed [G]Lord,
To the [|][C]cross where [Am]Thou hast [|][D7]died; Draw me [|]
[G]nearer, [G7]nearer, [|][C]nearer, blessed [Am][slow]Lord,
To Thy [|][G]precious, [D7]bleeding [|][G]side. [|][pause4]
