EVANGELISTIC SERVICES


I Am Thine, O Lord 195
(DRAW ME NEARER. 10, 7, 10, 7. With Refrain)
Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915 W. Howard Doane, 1875
 
  1. I am thine, 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 hast died;
    Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
    To thy precious, bleeding side.
    (Last verse: Amen.)
  2. Consecrate me now to thy service, Lord, By the power of grace divine;
    Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, And my will be lost in thine.
    Refrain
  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.
    Refrain
  4. There are depths of love that I can not 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
