From the earth for me,
Draw me, in Thy mercy,
Nearer unto Thee.
2. Lift my earthbound longings,
Fix them, Lord, above;
Draw me with the magnet
Of Thy mighty love.
3. Lord, Thine arms are stretching
Ever far and wide,
To enfold Thy children
To Thy loving side.
4. And I come, O Jesus;
Dare I turn away?
No! Thy love hath conquered,
And I come today.
5. Bringing all my burdens,
Sorrow, sin, and care,
At Thy feet I lay them
And I leave them there. Used With Tune: NORTH COATES Text Sources: Hymns for Mission Services, 1876
