Tune: | JUST AS I AM |
Composer: | Joseph Barnby, 1838-96 |
1 Drawn to the cross, which you have blessed
With healing gifts for souls distressed,
To find in you my life, my rest,
Christ crucified, I come.
2 How well you know my griefs and fears,
Your grace abused, my misspent years;
So now to you with contrite tears,
Christ crucified, I come.
3 Wash me and take away each stain;
Let nothing of my sin remain.
For cleansing through your cross and pain,
Christ crucified, I come.
4 To pledge my labor willingly,
Which shall so sweet a service be
That angels well might envy me,
Christ crucified, I come.
