But I (D7)long to rise in the (G)arms of faith And be (C)clos (Am)er (D)drawn (D7)to (G)Thee.

Draw me near er, (C)near er, bless ed (G)Lord, To the (C)cross (G)where (Am)Thou (G)hast (D)died;

Draw me (G)near (D)er, (G)near (G7)er, (C)near er, bless ed Lord, To Thy (G)pre cious, bleed (D7)ing (G)side.

Con se (D7)crate me now to Thy (G)ser vice, Lord, (G)By the (C)pow’r of grace di (G)vine;

Let my (D7)soul look up with a (G)stead fast hope, And my (C)will (Am)be (D)lost (D7)in (G)Thine.

Draw me near er, (C)near er, bless ed (G)Lord, To the (C)cross (G)where (Am)Thou (G)hast (D)died;

Draw me (G)near (D)er, (G)near (G7)er, (C)near er, bless ed Lord, To Thy (G)pre cious, bleed (D7)ing (G)side.

O the (G)side.
