O draw me, Saviour, after Thee!

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O draw me, Saviour, after Thee! So shall I run and never tire. With gracious words still comfort me; Be Thou my Hope, my sole Desire. Free me from every weight: nor fear Nor sin can come, if Thou art here. 2 From all eternity, with love Unchangeable, Thou hast me viewed. Ere knew this beating heart to move, Thy tender mercies me pursued. Ever with me may they abide, And close me in on every side. 3 Still let Thy Love point out my way; How wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my work, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 4 In suffering be Thy love my peace, In weakness be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that important hour, In death as life be Thou my Guide, And save me, Who for me hast died! Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

Author: Nicolaus Selnecker; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 0 Lord, my God, I cry to Thee, In my distress Thou helpest me; To Thee myself I all commend, O swiftly now Thine angel send, To guide me home and cheer my heart, Since Thou dost call me to depart. 2 0 Jesus Christ, Thou Lamb of God, Once slain to take away our load, Now let Thy cross, Thine agony, Avail to save and solace me, Thy death to open heav'n, and there Bid me the joy of angels share. 3 0 Holy Spirit, at the end, Sweet Comforter, be Thou my Friend; When death and hell assail me sore, Leave me, O leave me nevermore, But bear me safely through the strife, As Thou hast promised, into life.

Oh, lovely attitude! He stands With open heart and outstretched hands; Oh, matchless kindness! and He shows His matchless kindness to His foes. [Chorus] 3.
