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.

This song reminds me of my childhood and the faith that my mother displayed in God. And it is just amazing that after so many years it still has so much impact on my life, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to grow up in a Christian home.

This is one of my favorite songs. The words speak to my very soul.
Thank you for putting this online...I knew this song from a child growing up in Sunday school...I am in the point of my life that I needed to be drawn closer to the Lord than ever before...something just made me go and look you up right away after a deep time of prayer because I'd forgotten some of the lyrics and I'm thankful also that even the piano was a very very uplifting too! may God bless you & keep & enable you to many more!
