I am thine, O Lord, I have heard thy voice

Reference: I am my beloved's Song of Songs 7:10

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,
Chorus: To the cross where Thou hast died.
Chorus: Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
Chorus: 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.
