I Am Thine, O Lord

Verse 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! Verse 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. 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! Verse 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! 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! Verse 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. 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!
