Jeremiah 31: Draw me. Saviour, from above
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Draw me. Saviour, from above,
Still to every sin inclined.
Bind me with the cords of love;
Love alone my soul can bind.
Stop its vile propensity.
Change its grovelling appetite,
Jesus, manifest to me,
Be Thyself my pure delight.
By Thy most mysterious pain.
By Thy bloody sweat, I pray.
By Thy dying love to man.
Take, O take my sins away;
By Thy supplicating cries,
Me out of myself remove,
Crucified before my eyes,
Force my heart its God to love.
JcrcviiaJi xxxi. 3 — 12.
