Lord
weak and impotent I stand
As fettered by an unseen hand;
Break Thou the strong and subtle band
And draw me close to Thee.
Draw me close to Thee
Savior
Draw me close to Thee;
Beneath Thy wing do Thou me hide
And draw me close to Thee.
In vain I struggle to be free;
I would
but can not
fly to Thee;
Ope Thou the prison door for me
And draw me close to Thee.
Oh
bring me nearer
nearer still
That Thine own peace my soul may fill
And I may rest in Thy sweet will;
Lord
draw me close to Thee.
Here
Lord
I would forever bide
And never wander from Thy side;
Beneath Thy wing do Thou me hide
And draw me close to Thee.
