I Am Thine, O Lord-601

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 has died;
draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to thy precious, blessing side.

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.

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to the cross where thou has died;
draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to thy precious, blessing side.

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!

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to the cross where thou has died;
draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to thy precious, blessing side.

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.

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to the cross where thou has died;
draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to thy precious, blessing side.
