129 I Am Thine, O Lord

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.

Refrain: Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed lord, To the cross where thou has died, Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord, To thy precious bleeding side. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

3 Oh, 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! (refrain)

4 There are depths of love that I cannot know Till I cross the narrow sea; There are heights of joy that I may not reach Till I rest in peace with thee. [Refrain]
