Draw Me Close to Thee

Verse 1

I would be nearer, my Savior, Where I can hear Thy voice Falling in tenderest whispers, Making my heart rejoice.

Chorus

Draw me close to Thee, Draw me close to Thee; Keep me, dear Savior, so near Thy side, Draw me close to Thee.

Verse 2

I would be kept in Thy presence, Free from the strife of tongues; There shall the humble adore Thee, Raising their grateful songs.

Verse 3

Keep me, O Lord, in Thy shadow, When the dark tempests low’r; Safely to rest on Thy bosom, Keep me forevermore.

Verse 4

Swiftly the shadows are deep’ning, Light of my life, be near; Strengthen the trust I am keeping, Fill me with hope and cheer.
