Hymn: “I Am Thine, O Lord” Words: Fanny J Crosby, 1875, Music: William J Doane, 1875
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 hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
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
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
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

Jesus, my Lord will love me forever;
From Him no pow’r of evil can sever.
He gave His life to ransom my soul;
Now I belong to Him.
Refrain
Now I belong to Jesus;
Jesus belongs to me –
Not for the years of time alone,
But for eternity.
Once I was lost in sin’s degradation;
Jesus came down to bring me salvation –
Lifted me up from sorrow and shame.
Now I belong to Him. Refrain
Joy floods my soul, for Jesus has saved me –
Freed me from sin that long had enslaved me.
His precious blood He gave to redeem;
Now I belong to Him. Refrain
Benediction
