[Commanded, Lord, and drawn by Thee]
I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye Me in vain
—xlv. 19.
Commanded, Lord, and drawn by Thee
Have I not sought Thy face,
And ask'd for half a century
Thy heart-renewing grace?
Yet is my prayer unanswer'd still,
My heart is unrenew'd,
Throughout my fallen soul I feel
That I am void of God.
Have I not sought Thy face,
And ask'd for half a century
Thy heart-renewing grace?
Yet is my prayer unanswer'd still,
My heart is unrenew'd,
Throughout my fallen soul I feel
That I am void of God.
But wilt Thou suffer me to die
Such as I now remain?
It cannot, cannot be, that I
Should seek my God in vain:
My soul into Thy hands I give,
And hold the promise fast,
And seeking on, I must believe,
I must be saved at last.
Such as I now remain?
It cannot, cannot be, that I
Should seek my God in vain:
My soul into Thy hands I give,
And hold the promise fast,
And seeking on, I must believe,
I must be saved at last.
