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 is a deep hymn. I have sung it many times without realizing it. We all should desire to have a closer walk with Christ. When we sing this too easily, we may not really know the cross or Christ’s love that draws us nearer to Him. To be willing to go to the cross, which is hard, we must first see His dying love which draws us nearer to His side. This results in our continued consecration to Him. Lord draw me nearer, nearer what ever the cost! To be near to our wonderful savior is priceless.

We just sang it at Church on this blessed day!
God continues to draw us to Himself & we respond! Saying, “Here we are! ”

I woke in the night singing this song. Haven't sang it in close to 50 years, lol. I am so thankful that I lived in a time when we sang the old hymns, teaching us Scriptural truths. Blessed be the glorious Lord!

We cannot live a faithful Christian life without asking God to draw us nearer to him and consecrate us daily. I love this hymn❤
