Lyrics for Nearer Blessed Lord

I am thine, oh Lord I have heard Your voice Told thy love to me But I long to rise in the arms of faith Be closer drawn to Thee Draw me nearer Nearer, blessed Lord To the cross where Thou hast died Draw me nearer Nearer, blessed Lord To thy ever bleeding side Consecrate me Lord, in thy service By the power of grace divine Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope My will be lost in thine Draw me nearer Nearer, blessed Lord To the cross where Thou hast died Draw me nearer, yeah Nearer, blessed Lord To thy ever bleeding side My soul look up with a steadfast hope My will be lost in thine So draw me nearer Nearer, blessed Lord To the cross where Thou hast died Draw me nearer Nearer, blessed Lord To thy ever bleeding side
