Song 1:7.)
Lord Jesus, draw our hearts to Thee,
And keep them centered there;
That we may see Thy beauty more,
Thou fairest of the fair!
That we may, like the saints of old,
Sing praises, Lord, to Thee;
For Thou hast saved us from the pit
By dying on the tree.
The song begun on earth, O Lord,
Will through eternal years
Burst forth from Thy redeemed ones
To greet Thy holy ears.
Redeemed by Christ-oh, what a thought!-
From hell's dark burning flame,-
Not that alone, but on our brow
He'll write His holy name.
Oh deep, unfathomable grace,
We shall be pure as He!
And with Him share His glorious throne
Through all eternity!
