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. |

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. |

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! |

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. |

Just woke up with this precious tune in my spirit. I searched for it online and found it here. I sang it a few times and felt desirous of drawing closer to The Lord Jesus Christ today than ever.

My husband and I went to the cemetery today to spend time with our daughter on her birthday. At noon, the bells started playing this song. Our daughter was cremated and her remains are near a large boulder with her name, date of birth and death. She's in a wonderful place called Serenity Garden. There's a babbling brook that cascades over rocks down to a pool with a fountain. It's very peaceful and the song made the day seem better in spite of the reason for our being there.

I sang this song as a child in church. I loved it then and I love it now. Even though I am inspired by the contemporary Christian music of today, old hymns such as these stand the test of time. Awesome song. Awesome God!

This is a song from the heart. It touches my soul, and it helps my spirit in Thee Lord.
Gbagada, Lagos
I was blessed with the song, most especially in this period of 100 days fasting. God I bless Your name.......
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.

Lovely hymn (but all Christian hymns are)
I have sung/hummed this hymn many times in the past. Yesterday after I had mulled around a problem for some days it swung into my mind. I took a close look at the lyrics and sang and played it on my keyboard. Just beautiful. Verse 4 is particularly inspiring but the hymn as a whole is a complete prayer of surrender and dedication to God.
God granted me my request - He did much more than I requested of Him.
