[1] It has also been reported that Fanny Crosby, though blind, had a sunset described to her in words before writing the lyrics.

[2] Hebrews 10:22 is reported as being a source of inspiration for the hymn:[2] "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water."

(King James Version)[3] The original lyrics are as follows: - 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.

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.

Amen Refrain Translations of the hymn exist in various languages: - sv:Jag är din, o Gud
