475. I am Thine, O Lord
Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915
A song of consecration, based on Heb. 10:22, “Let us draw near with a true heart.” It was written one evening while Miss Crosby was visiting in the home of Dr. William H. Doane in Cincinnati, Ohio. The latter composed for it the tune by which the song has become familiar to a multitude of worshippers.
