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.
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.
Repeat Refrain
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!
Repeat Refrain
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.
Repeat Refrain

But I trust in You, O Lord, I say you are my God. Psalm 31:14

[stevea]

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.

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.

(Refrain)

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!

(Refrain)

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)

I can't believe how much I took these wonderful hymn for granted

[d-b]

I kept searching until I found this very version which satisfied my taste, for its traditionalism.
Exactly how we sang it in my church, no too much percussions

[dayoadepehin]

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, and my will be lost in thine.

[healinginsolitude]

I missed our small country church in the Philippines. We used to sing this during my stay there. this kind of music is unbeatable, I do enjoy this kind than those that have heavy percussions instruments.

[vinnyantonio]

can't beat a traditional hymn. i was looking for this tune with a traditional beat ... i was getting mad i kept getting the pop versions (no offense to those that like them).

[JerseyGurlLife]

Lord, please back the old hymns!!!
I can't deal with Christian rock.😑

[harleycharley]

Wonderful old Hymn...no more a hymn than, "In Christ Alone!" Words that adore and honor the Lord are truly Hymns!

[lornalakin]

Lovely choir in a Beautiful church.I love this hymn

[OrangutanTrip]

Great! This hymn reminds us to Jesus' cross

[michealmatthews]

I simply LOVE this choir. Singing God’s praises. Please can you tell me WHO is the lady with the quality SOPRANO VOICE. I can hear her ABOVE all the others. Is she the blonde lady who occasionally I see in the front CONDUCTING? If so, I was scrutinising the choir but failed to see her. Or could it be the lady in the middle with curly ginger hair. Please tell me. May God’s blessings surround you each day

[timdaugherty]

Oh dear lord please tell me you’re not putting screens on your walls with the words?
