600b. O my Saviour, lifted

1 O my Saviour, lifted
from the earth for me,
draw me, in your mercy,
at your side to be.

2 Lift my earth-bound longings,
fix them, Lord, above;
draw me with the magnet
of your mighty love.

3 Lord, thine arms are stretching
ever far and wide
to enfold your children
to your loving side.

4 And I come, Lord Jesus:
dare I turn away?
No, your love has conquered,
and I come today.

5 Bringing all my burdens,
sorrow, sin and care,
at your feet I lay them,
and I leave them there.
