"lyrics": "I am thine, O Lord, I have heard thy voice,\nAnd it told thy love to me;\nBut I long to rise in the arms of faith,\nAnd be closer drawn to thee.\n\nDraw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,\nTo the cross where thou hast died;\nDraw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,\nTo thy precious, bleeding side.\n\nConsecrate me now to thy service, Lord,\nBy the pow'r of grace divine;\nLet my soul look up with a steadfast hope,\nAnd my will be lost in thine.\n\nO the pure delight of a single hour\nThat before thy throne I spend,\nWhen I kneel in prayer, and with thee, my God,\nI commune as friend with friend!\n\nThere are depths of love that I cannot know\nTill I cross the narrow sea;\nThere are heights of joy that I may not reach\nTill I rest in peace with thee.",
