Author: William Walsham How, 1823-97 Hymnal: Together in Song #600b (1999) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 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.
