700. Draw Us to Thee

1 Draw us to thee,
for then shall we
walk in thy steps forever
and hasten on
where thou art gone
to be with thee, dear Savior.

2 Draw us to thee,
Lord, lovingly;
let us depart with gladness
that we may be
forever free
from sorrow, grief, and sadness.

3 Draw us to thee;
O grant that we
may walk the road to heaven!
Direct our way
lest we should stray
and from thy paths be driven.

4 Draw us to thee
that also we
thy heav'nly bliss inherit
and ever dwell
where sin and hell
no more can vex our spirit.

5 Draw us to thee
unceasingly;
into thy kingdom take us.
Let us fore'er
thy glory share;
thy saints and joint heirs make us.
