Drawn to the Cross
which Thou hast blessed
With healing gifts
for souls distressed,
To find in Thee my life, my rest:
Christ crucified, I come!
Stained with the sins
which I have wrought
In word and deed
and secret thought,
For pardon which
Thy blood hath brought:
Christ crucified, I come!
Weary of selfishness and pride,
False pleasures gone,
vain hopes denied,
Deep in Thy wounds
my shame to hide:
Christ crucified, I come!
Thou knowest all
my griefs and fears,
Thy grace abused,
my misspent years;
Yet now to Thee,
my cleansing tears:
Christ crucified, I come!
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!
And then for work to do for Thee,
Which shall so sweet a service be
That angels well might envy me,
Christ Crucified, I come.
A life of labour, prayers, and love,
Which shall my heart’s
conversion prove,
Till to a glorious rest above,
Christ crucified, I come.
To share with Thee
Thy Life Divine,
Thy Righteousness,
Thy Likeness mine,
Since Thou hast made
my nature mine,
Christ crucified, I come.
To be what Thou wouldst
have me be,
Accepted, sanctified in Thee,
Through what Thy grace
shall work in me:
Christ crucified, I come!
