HYMN #306 DRAW ME NEARER

I am thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice, And it told Thy love to me; But I long to rise in the arms of faith And be closer drawn to Thee.

Refrain: Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To the cross where thou hast died. Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, By the power of grace divine; May my soul look up with a steadfast hope, And my will be lost in Thine.

Refrain: Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To the cross where thou hast died. Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To thy precious, bleeding side.

O the pure delight of a single hour That before Thy throne I spend, When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God, I commune as friend with friend!

Refrain: Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To the cross where thou hast died. Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To thy precious, bleeding side.

HYMN #186 I’VE FOUND A FRIEND

I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! He loved me ere I knew Him; He drew me with the cords of love, And thus He bound me to Him.

And 'round my heart still closely twine Those ties which naught can sever, For I am His, and He is mine, Forever and forever.

I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! He bled, He died to save me; And not alone the gift of life, But His own self He gave me.

Naught that I have my own I call, I hold it for the Giver; My heart, my strength, my life my all, Are His, and His forever.

I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! So kind, and true, and tender, So wise a counselor and guide, So mighty a defender.

From Him, who loveth me so well, What power my soul can sever From Him, who loveth me so well, What power my soul can sever? Shall life or death, or earth, or hell? No; I am His forever.
