Author: Bishop William Walsham How (1823-1897) Hymnal: The Hymnal #161 (1950) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 1 O my Saviour, lifted
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.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Passion; Aspiration; Christ Call, Answering Christ's; Christ Passion, His; Good Friday; Lent; Love and Communion Tune Title: NORTH COATES
