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.

Where Thou art gone,

2 Draw us to Thee,
Lord, lovingly;
Let us depart with gladness,
That we may be
Forever free
From sorrow, grief, and sadness.

Forever free
From sorrow, grief, and sadness.
3 Draw us to Thee,
O grant that we
May find the road to heaven;
Direct our way,
Lest we should stray,
And from Thy paths be driven.

May find 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 heavenly bliss inherit,
And ever dwell
Where sin and hell
No more can vex our spirit.

Thy heavenly bliss inherit,
And ever dwell
Where sin and hell
No more can vex our spirit.
