Closer to Thee My Father Draw Me { Closer to Thee My Father Draw Me CLOSER TO THEE, MY FATHER-John Harrison Tenney Closer to Thee, My Father, Draw Me } 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 chords of love, Draw me to Thyself above; Closer 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 to Thee, sweet Spirit, draw me, Till I am wholly Thine; Quicken, refine, and fully cleanse me, Till pure my soul shall shine.
