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.
