Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#468

468. Lift Him Up

1 How to reach the masses, those of ev'ry birth?
For an answer Jesus gave the key:
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth;
will draw all people to 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 people to Me.”

2 O the world is hungry for the living bread,
lift the Savior up for them to see.
Trust Him, and do not doubt the words that He said:
“I’ll draw all people to Me.” [Refrain]

3 Lift Him up by living as a Christian ought,
let the world in you the Savior see.
Then saints will gladly follow Him who once taught:
“I’ll draw all people to Me.” [Refrain]
