Closer To Thee, My Father Draw Me

AH# 407

Closer to Thee, my Father

draw me, I long for
Thine embrace;

Closer with in
Thine arms enfold me,
I seek a resting place.
 Refrain

Closer with the cords of love,

Draw me to thyself above;

Closer draw me,

To thyself above.
 Closer to Thee my savior,
draw me, Nor let me leave
Thee more;

Fain would I feel Thine arms

around me, and count my
wanderings o’er.
 Refrain

Closer with the cords of love,

Draw me to thyself above;

Closer draw me,

To thyself above.
Closer by Thy spirit draw me,
Till I am all like Thee;
Quicken, refine, and wash,
and cleans me,
Till I am pure and free.
 Refrain

Closer with the cords of love,

Draw me to thyself above;

Closer draw me,

To thyself above.
