I AM THINE, O LORD
1. 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.
Chorus:
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.
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 narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may
not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
