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.

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 have immortality;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
