Draw Me Near To Thee

by Ida L. Reed

Draw me near to thee,
To thy blessed side;
Let thy love so free
In my soul abide:
Jesus, Saviour dear,
Unto thee I come
With my doubt and fear,
To thy holy throne.

Draw me near to thee,
And my soul defend;
Thou my trust shall be,
Until life shall end:
Ever true and kind
To the faithful heart,
Friend in thee I find,
That will ne'er depart.

Draw me near to thee,
Make me strong and brave,
Keep my spirit free
From temptation's wave:
Draw me near to thee,
Fill my heart with love,
I would closer be
To thy throne above.

Chorus

Draw me, draw me near to thee;
Saviour, Saviour, draw me near to thee.
