Author: F. J. Crosby Hymnal: The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship #235 (1938) First Line: I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice Refrain First Line: Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord 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.
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.
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]
3 O the pure delight of a single hour,
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in pray'r, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
