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

I also have been singing this song in my head this morning and when I read the first few comments I knew I had to add mine. I could remember only the first line although I have heard the song most of my life. So I searched and found this site. Thank you for posting this.

I was laying on the bed and a song that I wrote came to my spirit and I started singing and then this song came in my spirit I have heard this so many times but it did not resonate until tonight. I just want God to draw me nearer to him and that I will be used all to his glory and Minister and tell the good news about Jesus Christ. I love the Lord because he heard My Cry.

I was humming this hymn in my spirit when I woke up this morning but I did not remember the lyrics. My wife also joined me also humming.
My daughter came in and she said her daily devotion for about three days was centred around the hymn. My spirit was filled with joy and satisfaction. We searched for the lyrics and and used it for this morning devotion.
Oh Lord, draw us nearer that we may know and have more of You.
Thank You Precious Jesus

I woke up with this song in my heart. And l know God has a purpose for my life. This song has gone a long way calming my fears and doubt. God first loved me even when I did not love Him. To God be all the glory. He's too much to me.

My eyes are tearing right now, full of joy. I was woken up by the lyrics singing in my inner being. I have a worship in song Nazarene hymnal with that I brought with when coming for my studies. I opened it found the song. Brethren, I'm now filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. God is real, I don't care who says what. The joy of being in His presence are unexplainable.
I am blessed.
