Hymns of the Lutheran Church

170 Draw Us to Thee

1 Draw us to thee, For then shall we Walk in thy steps forever And hasten on Where thou art gone To be with thee, dear Savior. 2 Draw us to thee, Lord, lovingly; Let us depart with gladness That we may be Forever free From sorrow, grief, and sadness. 3 Draw us to thee; Oh, grant that we May walk the road to heaven. Direct our way Lest we should stray And from thy paths be driven. 4 Draw us to thee That also we Thy heav'nly bliss inherit And ever dwell Where sin and hell No more can vex our spirit. 5 Draw us to thee Unceasingly; Into thy kingdom take us. Let us fore'er Thy glory share; Thy saints and joint heirs make us.
