356. Drawn to the Cross, Which You Have Blessed

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!
Yet 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, though it be through pain,
Christ Crucified, I come.

4 Then all that you would have me do
Shall such glad service be for you
That angels wish to do it too.
Christ Crucified, I come.
