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, 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.    Oh, 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.
