Drawn to the Cross which Thou hast blest (Hymn 1049)

Verse 1: Drawn to the Cross which Thou hast blest, With healing gifts for souls distrest, To find in Thee my Life, my Rest, Christ crucified, I come. Verse 2: Stained with the sins which I have wrought In word and deed and secret thought; For pardon which Thy Blood hath bought, Christ crucified, I come. Verse 3: Weary of selfishness and pride, False pleasures gone, vain hopes denied, Deep in Thy wounds my shame to hide, Christ crucified, I come. Verse 4: Thou knowest all my griefs and fears, Thy grace abused, my misspent years; Yet now to Thee, for cleansing tears, Christ crucified, I come. Verse 5: 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. Verse 6: Wash me, and take away each stain, Let nothing of my sin remain; For cleansing, though it be through pain, Christ crucified, I come. Verse 7: To share with Thee Thy life divine, Thy very likeness to be mine, Since Thou hast made my nature Thine, Christ crucified, I come. Verse 8: To be what Thou wouldst have me be, Accepted, sanctified in Thee, Through what Thy grace shall work in me, Christ crucified, I come.
