"DRAW ME."
"No man can come to Me except the Father, which hath sent Me, draw him."—John vi. 44.
"Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out."—John vi. 37.
"I am the Door."—John x. 9.
"Draw me, we will run after Thee."—Solomon's Song i. 4.
Oh, draw me, Holy Father,
For in Thy Word I read
That they who go to Jesus
With all their guilt and need,
Are certainly attracted
By Thy almighty power,
To find a happy entrance
Through heaven's Living Door.
The world, which once did furnish
The trifles I desired,
Now gives no satisfaction;
There's something else required:
The devil would allure me
With charms by him designed
To cry, "Peace! peace!" but cannot
Relieve my troubled mind.
I see no place of refuge
To which I may retreat;
No home, or kindly shelter,
To rest my weary feet.
Where shall I go? where can I?
Dear Saviour, hear my plea—
"Draw me, and I'll run gladly;
Yes, draw me unto Thee."
A. B.
