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
