The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#7

7. Draw Me to Thee

1 Closer to thee, my Father, draw me,
I long for thine embrace;
Closer within 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.

2 Closer to thee, my Savior, draw me,
Nor let me leave thee more,
Sighing to feel thine arms around me,
And all my wanderings o'er. [Refrain]

3 Closer by thy sweet spirit draw me,
Till I am wholly thine;
Quicken, refine, and wash and cleanse me,
Till pure my soul shall shine. [Refrain]
