 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.

 
 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.

 
 3 

Weary of selfishness and pride,

False pleasures gone, vain hopes denied,

Deep in Thy wounds my shame to hide,

Christ crucified, I come.

 
 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.

 
 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.

 
 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.

 
 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.

 
 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.
