I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
|
|
| 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. |
| | 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. | 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! |
| 4. | 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. |
