Draw me, Lord, with the bands
Of Your love, with cords of man,
Going forth in my being entire;

With Your goal, for Your plan
Through Your word, joined to Your

Make me one who would pray
Mingled with God as my faith,
Always praying and not losing heart;
I’d persistently pray,
And through prayer be saved each day,
Not in self but in God
  fully trusting.

Teach me, Lord, not to waste
But to number all my days,
Better one day with You than a thousand;
Keep me faithful, in grace
To express You all my days,
In all matters, for Your
  propagation.

If I struggle within,
You must never let me win.
Lord, defeat me, and conquer me wholly;
Not a half consecration,
But absolutely giv’n,
Lord, I’ll pay the full price
  for You solely.
