American Lutheran Hymnal ‎#454

454. Draw Us To Thee

1 Draw us to Thee,
For then shall we
Be true in our behavior,
And hasten on
Where Thou art gone,
To be with Thee, our Savior.

2 Draw us to Thee
And make us free
From earthly grief and sadness;
Let us depart
With trustful heart,
To dwell in Thee in gladness.

3 Draw us to Thee,
O Lord, that we
May find the road to heaven:
Direct our way,
Lest we should stray
And from Thy paths be driven.

4 Draw us to Thee
And grant that we
Thy kingdom may inherit;
O let us dwell
Where sin and hell
No more can vex our spirit.

5 Draw us to Thee
That we may be
Where all Thy saints are dwelling
In Thine employ,
Endowed with joy
And bliss beyond all telling.
