I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers
with pure conscience, that without ceasing
I have remembrance of thee in my prayers
night and day;

Doane. (10.7.10.7. with refrain) Verses/Key/v4/G
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, nearer blessèd Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessèd 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.
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 cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
Refrain
