Christians Drawn with Cords of Love

Verse 1

My God, what silken cords are thine! How soft, and yet how strong! While power, and truth, and love combine To draw our souls along.

Verse 2

Thou saw'st us crush'd beneath the yoke Of satan and of sin: Thy hand the iron bondage broke, Our worthless hearts to win.

Verse 3

The guilt of twice ten thousand sins One moment takes away; And grace, when first the war begins, Secures the crowning day.

Verse 4

Comfort thro' all this vale of tears In rich profusion flows, And glory of unnumber'd years Eternity bestows.

Verse 5

Drawn by such cords we onward move, "Till round thy throne we meet; And captives in the chains of love, Embrace our Conqueror's feet.
