SS&S Hymn #607: I am Thine, O Lord

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

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 near er, 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 power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

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.

4

There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights ofjoy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
