I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice, As it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Draw me near...er, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the Cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious wounded side.
2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, By the power 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 narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till rest in peace with Thee.
