(Capo 1)
D    A7                D
D      G  Em  A     A7 D

D    A7                    D
I am Thine, O Lord; I have heard Thy voice,
D/F#    G                D
And it told Thy love to me;
      A7                  D
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
D      G  Em  A     A7 D
And be closer drawn to Thee.

                G              D
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
D      G     D/F#   A7/E D    A
To the cross where Thou hast died;
		D               G
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
       D/A          A7    D
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

G    A    D

D    A7                    D
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
D/F#    G                D
By the power of grace divine;
      A7                  D
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
D      G  Em  A     A7 D
And my will be lost in Thine.

                G              D
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
D      G     D/F#   A7/E D    A
To the cross where Thou hast died;
		D               G
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
       D/A          A7    D
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

G    A    D

D    A7                    D
O the pure delight of a single hour
D/F#    G                D
That before Thy throne I spend,
      A7                  D
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
D      G  Em  A     A7 D
I commune as friend with friend!

                G              D
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
D      G     D/F#   A7/E D    A
To the cross where Thou hast died;
		D               G
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
       D/A          A7    D
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

G    A    D

D    A7                    D
There are depths of love that I cannot know
D/F#    G                D
Till I cross the narrow sea;
      A7                  D
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
D      G  Em  A     A7 D
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

                G              D
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
D      G     D/F#   A7/E D    A
To the cross where Thou hast died;
		D               G
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
       D/A          A7    D
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
