I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice

1
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.
2
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.
3
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!
4
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.

I'm now 32 and I was about 5yrs old when I heard this song. The choir was just angelic and the harmony so heavenly. Some of the brethren that were part of the choir have now departed and those left are very old. I can not wait for God to come take me so that I can be with up there forever praising His name

With the sound of Christian music forever changing ( and let's be honest it has changed drastically!!! ) it is refreshing to come to this old hymn of the church and feel a sense of being revived-- Thank you Lord♡

Singing this hymn, I'm all yours Lord. Draw me nearer to your bleeding side. Help me cross the narrow sea and help me be firmly rooted and restored to you. Amen

I went to bed feeling low and disappointed especially about loved ones.

Woke up around 1. 00am with this hymn humming in my head.

After singing it, the hymn ministered to me to get closer to God and worry less.

This hymn came to me this morning from a past memory in church as a young person. God spoke to me, I'm sure. Can't go to. Church now due to health reasons (now 75) but I miss singing the hymns most of all.
