  *++Lyrics:|\\
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.\\
Closer, closer with the cords of love,\\
Draw me, draw me to thyself above;\\
Closer with the cords of love,\\
Draw me to thyself above,\\
Draw me to thyself above.\\
\\
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.\\
\\
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.\\
\\
