Author: Fanny Crosby (1820-1915) Appears in 692 hymnals First Line: I am thine, O Lord; I have heard thy voice Lyrics: 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, nearer, blessèd Lord, To the cross where thou hast died; Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessèd 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! 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.

My life flows on in endless song

Author: Anon Appears in 145 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song; Above earth’s lamentation I hear the sweet though far-off hymn That hails a new creation. Through all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul; How can I keep from singing? 2 What though my joys and comforts die, The Lord, my Saviour, liveth! What though the darkness gather round, Songs in the nigh! he giveth! No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that refuge clinging; Since Christ is Lord of Heaven and earth How can I keep from singing? 3 I lift mine eyes, the cloud grows thin, I see the blue above it; And day by day this pathway smooths Since first I learned to love it. The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, A fountain ever springing; All things are mine since I am his; How can I keep from singing? Topics: The gospel Witness
