Draw Me to Thee

Martha A. W. Cook • English

Verse 1

Lord, weak and impotent I stand, As fettered by an unseen hand; Break Thou the strong and subtle band, And draw me close to Thee.

Chorus

Draw me close to Thee, Savior, Draw me close to Thee; Beneath Thy wing do Thou me hide, And draw me close to Thee.

Verse 2

In vain I struggle to be free; I would, but can not, fly to Thee; Ope Thou the prison door for me, And draw me close to Thee.

Chorus

Draw me close to Thee, Savior, Draw me close to Thee; Beneath Thy wing do Thou me hide, And draw me close to Thee.

Verse 3

Oh, bring me nearer, nearer still, That Thine own peace my soul may fill, And I may rest in Thy sweet will; Lord, draw me close to Thee.

Chorus

Draw me close to Thee, Savior, Draw me close to Thee; Beneath Thy wing do Thou me hide, And draw me close to Thee.

Verse 4

Here, Lord, I would forever bide, And never wander from Thy side; Beneath Thy wing do Thou me hide, And draw me close to Thee.

Chorus

Draw me close to Thee, Savior, Draw me close to Thee; Beneath Thy wing do Thou me hide, And draw me close to Thee.
