Text:Draw us to Thee, Lord Jesus
Tune:O JESUS, BY THINE ANGUISH

118. Draw us to Thee, Lord Jesus

1 Draw us to Thee, Lord Jesus,
And we will hasten on;
For strong desire doth seize us
To go where Thou art gone.

2 Draw us to Thee; enlighten
Our hearts to find Thy way,
That else the tempests frighten,
Or pleasures lure astray.

3 Draw us to Thee, and teach us
E'en now that rest to find,
Where turmoils cannot reach us,
Nor cares weigh down the mind.

4 Draw us to Thee; nor leave us,
Till all our path be trod;
Then in Thine arms receive us,
And bear us home to God.
