1049－Drawn to the Cross which Thou hast

GOSPEL － Coming to the Lord

1049

	1.	Drawn to the Cross which Thou hast
		blest,
		With healing gifts for souls distrest,
		To find in Thee my Life, my Rest,
		Christ crucified, I come.
	2.	Stained with the sins which I have
		wrought
		In word and deed and secret thought;
		For pardon which Thy Blood hath
		bought,
		Christ crucified, I come.
	3.	Weary of selfishness and pride,
		False pleasures gone, vain hopes
		denied,
		Deep in Thy wounds my shame to hide,
		Christ crucified, I come.
	4.	Thou knowest all my griefs and fears,
		Thy grace abused, my misspent years;
		Yet now to Thee, for cleansing tears,
		Christ crucified, I come.
	5.	I would not, if I could, conceal
		The ills which only Thou canst heal;
		So to the Cross, where sinners kneel,
		Christ crucified, I come
		Wash me, and take away each stain,
		Let nothing of my sin remain;
		For cleansing, though it be through
		pain,
		Christ crucified, I come
	7.	To share with Thee Thy life divine,
		Thy very likeness to be mine,
		Since Thou hast made my nature
		Thine,
		Christ crucified, I come
	8.	To be what Thou wouldst have me be,
		Accepted, sanctified in Thee,
		Through what Thy grace shall work in
		me,
		Christ crucified, I come
