About the Score

SATB

TTBB

After a simple introduction, the first verse is set above a stationary bass line. The song develops, increases in intensity and divisi, and blossoms as one draws closer to God. However, as we get closer to God, we realize that God is a Spirit who can dwell within us and is not a menacing Power looking down upon us. God is a friend to us.

Text: 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 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 pow’r of grace divine; Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, And my will be lost in Thine. 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!
