'Tis because Thou drawest me
| 'Tis because Thou drawest me I can closely follow Thee; Thy forbearance can appraise, Thee experience all my days. Henna flow'r, Thy loveliness Beautifies earth's wilderness; Like the fragrant myrrh to me, In my heart I've hidden Thee. Hear, O Lord, my whispered plea: Henceforth I've no Lord but Thee; All Thy wealth is joy to me, By Thy life matured I'd be. |
