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 hymn has proven to me that God hears every cry. In my time of grieve over what I would have given my late mum which I could not before her demise, the Lord gave me this song emphasis on stanza 4... there are depths of love, ... there are heights of Joy that I can not attend ere I meet with him face to face or I rest in peace with him. Message; no Love, no joy can equate the one she now has in Him. It is very consolingly. Thank You Jesus.

i love the lyrics of this song so much it makes me calm when my heart is so heavy and full off taught that I have no answers to.
I love the verse 4 that says
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.

Singing this on Baptist Youth Convention

It's about 4:30 AM local time when sleep suddenly goes and the song playing in my mind is this one! Intuitively I search on for it on the net. The song ministers to me like somebody is personally speaking to me—I know God the Holy Spirit did!" Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope and my will be lost in thine.." encouraging to hope in God & always submit my will to His Amen!.
Concecrate me Lord to Thy service Lord
by Thy power of grace divine
May my soul look up with a steadfast hope
and my will be lost in Thine
When I kneel in prayer
and with Thee my Lord
i commune as friend with friend.
There r depths of love
there r heights of joy
i may never know
till I rest in peace with Thee
Draw me nearer Lord 🙏🏼
