"DRAW ME."
Reading edition
"No man can come to Me except the Father, which hath sent Me, draw him."—John vi. 44.
"Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out."—John vi. 37.
"I am the Door."—John x. 9.
"Draw me, we will run after Thee."—Solomon's Song i. 4.
Oh, draw me, Holy Father, For in Thy Word I read That they who go to Jesus With all their guilt and need, Are certainly attracted By Thy almighty power, To find a happy entrance Through heaven's Living Door. The world, which once did furnish The trifles I desired, Now gives no satisfaction; There's something else required: The devil would allure me With charms by him designed To cry, "Peace! peace!" but cannot Relieve my troubled mind. I see no place of refuge To which I may retreat; No home, or kindly shelter, To rest my weary feet. Where shall I go? where can I? Dear Saviour, hear my plea— "Draw me, and I'll run gladly; Yes, draw me unto Thee." A. B.
