I Am Thine O'Lord (Draw Me Nearer)

 

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.

​

         Refrain:

            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.
