[Draw me, and I with vigour new]

Draw me, and I with vigour new
Will my alluring God pursue;
But Thou dost draw me still,
How else could I Thyself require
Or offer Thee this faint desire
Thy precious love to feel?
The spark which from Thy Spirit came,
The dying spark into a flame,
O let Thy Spirit raise;
Then, then I after Thee shall run,
And grasp my Saviour on the throne,
And see Thy heavenly face.
