Draw Me Closer to Thee

Verse 1

Closer to thee, my Father, draw me, I long for thine embrace; Closer within thine arms enfold me, I seek a resting place.

Chorus

Closer with the cords of love, Draw me to thyself above; Closer draw me, To thyself above.

Verse 2

Closer to thee, my Saviour, draw me, Nor let me leave thee more; Fain would I feel thine arms around me, And count my wand'rings o'er.

Verse 3

Closer by thy sweet Spirit draw me, Till I am all like thee; Quicken, refine, and wash and cleanse me, Till I am pure and free.
