Author: Mrs. E. W. Chapman Hymnal: Light and Life #64 (1881) Hymnal Title: Light and Life First Line: Closer to thee, my Father, draw me Refrain First Line: Closer with the cords of love Lyrics: 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.
2 Closer to thee, my Saviour, draw me,
Nor let me leave thee more,
Sighing to feel thine arms around me,
And all my wand'rings o'er. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Closer to thee, my Father, draw me]
Draw me closer to thee
