The promise made our fallen race,
And by the blood of Jesus seal’d,
The word of all-attracting grace,
I find ten thousand times fulfill’d:
But, Lord, I want the sight above,
The grace to saints triumphant given;
Draw by the cords of perfect love,
And draw me to thyself in heaven.
The promise made our fallen race
