808. Drawn to the Cross

1 Drawn to the cross, which you have blessed
with healing gifts for souls distressed,
to find in you my life, my rest,
Christ crucified, I come.

2 How well you know my griefs and fears,
your grace abused, my misspent years;
so now to you with contrite tears,
Christ crucified, I come.

3 Wash me and take away each stain;
let nothing of my sin remain.
For cleansing through your cross and pain,
Christ crucified, I come.

4 To pledge my labor willingly,
which shall so sweet a service be
that angels well might envy me,
Christ crucified, I come.
