I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice

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, 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.
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 yet may know
  Ere Thee face to face I see;
There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
  Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

In my prayer time this evening, this song was on my heart. I was pretty amazed (and comforted) when I saw Samson's comment below from Harbin, China, as we are now in the midst of closures and social distancing because of the Corona virus. I pray that things are looking up for Samson and Harbin, and that all of us will look back and see a life changing time of drawing near our blessed Lord.

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope!

This hymn is really touching!

every lyrics of this hymn makes me have a sober reflection about my life.

It's been my source of strength and encouragement in every moments of my despair and hopelessness.

Thanks to the writer!

I can sing this song a thousand times and one. It expresses the emotions I feel and quite put into words when I want to talk to God. One of my favourite hymns.

This morning my spirit was drawn closer onto the Lord when I sang the song during morning devotion. So I decided to check the full lyrics and indeed it is a song with prayers. God bless the soul he used for this song.
