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, nearer Blessed Lord
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer Blessed Lord...
To Thy precious Ble-eding side.
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.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer Blessed Lord
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer Blessed Lord...
To Thy precious Ble-eding 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, nearer Blessed Lord
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer Blessed Lord...
To Thy precious Ble-eding side.
There are depths of love
That I cannot know
‘Till I cross the narow sea.
There are heights of joy
That I may not reach
‘Till I rest in peace with Thee.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer Blessed Lord
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer Blessed Lord...
To Thy precious Ble-eding side.
