221. I Am Thine, O Lord; I Have Heard Thy Voice

P.M.
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.
 
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
 
To the cross where Thou hast died;
 
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
 
To Thy precious, wounded 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.
