Old-Line Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book

608 (7.7.7.7.) Richard Burnham

Jesus draws the chosen race

By His sweet resistless grace;

Causing them to hear His call,

And before His pow'r to fall.

From the blissful realms above,

Swift as lightning flies His love;

Draws them to His tender breast;

There they find the gospel rest.

Then how eagerly they move

In the happy paths of love!

How they glory in the Lord,

Pleased with Jesus' sacred word!

When the Lord appears in view,

Old things cease, and all is new;

Love divine o'erflows the soul;

Love doth ev'ry sin control.
