Chapters

I have heard Thy voice and it told Thy love to me Glimmer, blessed Lord, to the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, Glimmer, blessed Lord,
to Thy precious bleeding side. Thy service, Lord, by the power of grace divine Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope And my will
be lost in Thine Draw me nearer,
nearer, blessed Lord To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious bleeding side. Of a single lamb that before Thy throne I spent When I kneel in prayer, everything I've got I commune as friend with Thee
Draw me nearer, nearer,
blessed Lord, To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To Thy presence.
There are depths of love that I cannot know Till I cross the narrow sea There are heights of cure that I may not reach Till I rest in peace with
Draw me nearer, nearer,
bless the Lord To the cross where
Thou hast died Draw me nearer, nearer,
nearer Blessed Lord, to Thy precious bleeding side
