Drawn by a dying sinner’s prayer

Verse 1
Drawn by a dying sinner’s prayer,
Come, Saviour, from above,
And in my parting soul declare,
The majesty of love:

Verse 2
Before I render up my breath,
Thy glorious goodness show,
And safely through the gates of death
To endless life I go.

Verse 3
I long thy smiling face to see,
Who freely dost forgive
Transgression, sin, iniquity,
The moment we believe.

Verse 4
In me create that seeing eye,
Which doth the peace impart,
And now with all thy wounds pass by,
And captivate my heart.

Verse 5
Soon as thou dost in me proclaim,
And make thy nature known,
The new unutterable name
Which perfects us in one;

Verse 6
Made capable of heavenly rest,
I shall from earth remove,
T’ enjoy the God for ever blest,
Whom I entirely love.
