I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,

And it told Thy love to me

But I long to rise in the arms of faith,

And be closer drawn to Thee.



Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side.



Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,

By the powr of grace divine

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

And my will be lost in Thine.



O 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



There are depths of love that I yet may know

Ere Thee face to face I see

There are heights of joy that I yet may reach

Ere I rest in peace with Thee.
