And be closer drawn to Thee.
CHORUS
Ever ///nearer/// to thy cross,
Take me, oh, my blessed Lord;
Ever ///nearer/// to thy cross,
Draw me nearer to thy side.
2
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow'r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
3
Oh, 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!
4
There are depths of love that I cannot know,
Till I cross the stormy sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach,
Till I live in peace with Thee.

574. A HOPE WAS BORN
Ufi)fBPE°iiifNiJf iitifJ)f YA
1 P 1.13 CALLING
A hope was born and now it rules my soul,
Since I left darkness and was brought to light;
I wandered aimless, with no sense in life,
But Jesus saved my soul and gave me light.
CHORUS
Salvation is in Jesus Christ,
Don't doubt His power, trust in Him;
Come then to Him without delay,
Come and give Him all of your heart.
2
I am a witness to the power of God,
'Cause many wonders He has done in me;
I once was blind, but now I see the light,
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD HYMNAL •461
