Text: | I Am Thine, O Lord |
Author: | Fanny J. Crosby |
Tune: | I AM THINE |
Composer: | William H. Doane |
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 power of grace divine;
let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
and my will be lost in Thine. [Refrain]
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! [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
