118. Lift Him Up

1 How to reach the masses, men of ev'ry birth?
For an answer Jesus gave the key,
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
Will draw all men unto me.”

Refrain:
Lift Him up, Lift Him up,
Still He speaks from eternity,
"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
will draw all men unto me."

2 Oh, the world is hungry for the living bread,
Lift the Saviour up for them to see,
Trust Him, and do not doubt the words that He said,
"I'll draw all men unto me." [Refrain]

3 Don't exalt the preacher, don't exalt the pew,
Preach the gospel simple, full and free,
Prove Him and you wilt find that promise is true,
"I'll draw all men unto men." [Refrain]

4 Lift him up by living as a Christian ought
Let the world in you the Saviour see,
Then men will gladly follow him who once taught,
"I'll draw all men unto me." [Refrain]
