Let Us Draw Near!
Author: Margaret Clarkson Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #631 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8.5 First Line: Let us draw near! The blood is spilt Lyrics: 1 Let us draw near! The blood is spilt,
the Lamb has borne the sinners' guilt;
the sacrifice for sin is made,
we meet our Father unafraid:
then let us draw near!
2 Let us draw near: the holy door
stands open wide forevermore;
no longer flaming angels guard
the gate by Jesus' hand unbarred:
then let us draw near!
3 Let us draw near! No more we fear,
our Savior bids us welcome here;
we come as guests of princely grace
to feast in heaven's most holy place:
then let us draw near!
4 Let us draw near, with hearts aglow,
in reverent stillness bowing low;
before the throne love's emblems plead--
in simple faith, with all our need:
come, let us draw near! Topics: Prayer Scripture: Acts 12:12 Languages: English Tune Title: CROSSROADS
Let Us Draw Near!
