Hymn - Draw Me Nearer

Draw Me Nearer

by Helen G. Pierce

Draw me nearer, Jesus, nearer,
When my heart grows faint with fear;
Help me catch Thy faintest whisper,
Give me, Lord, a listening ear.

Refrain

Nearer, nearer, draw me nearer,
Draw me nearer, Lord, to Thee.
Fill me with Thy Holy Spirit,
Draw me nearer, Lord, to Thee.

Ask! I hear Thee say, and asking,
Heaven’s richest gifts are thine.
Seek, Thou biddest me, and seeking,
Thou shalt never fail to find.

Refrain

So I come, dear Savior, knocking,
Knocking at sweet mercy’s gate,
Why should I for its unlocking
Still in doubt and darkness wait?

Refrain

Thou in whom all fullness dwelleth,
Wilt Thou now impart to me,
Something of Thy blessèd nature,
Draw me nearer, Lord, to Thee?
