Author: Ludaemilia Elizabeth, Countess of Schwarzburg Rudolstadt, d. 1672; Miss Winkworth Hymnal: Church Book #203 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 Draw us to Thee, Lord Jesus,
And we will hasten on;
For strong desire doth seize us
To go where Thou art gone.
2 Draw us to Thee; enlighten
These hearts to find Thy way,
That else the tempests frighten,
Or pleasures lure astray.
3 Draw us to Thee; and teach us
Even now that rest to find,
Where turmoils cannot reach us,
Nor cares weigh down the mind.
4 Draw us to Thee; nor leave us
Till all our path is trod,
Then in Thine arms receive us,
And bear us home to God. Topics: Ascension; Easter Season, Fourth Sunday; Eleventh Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: RUDOLSTADT
Draw us to Thee, Lord Jesus
