Grant us, our Savior, the love that constaineth, Smile on us bending the suppliant knee, Yield us in trial the faith that sustaineth, All the sweet trust that would draw us to thee. Oh, love that constraineth, Love blest and free, Savior so tenderly, Draw us to thee. By the dear earth-life, of grief and of anguish By every hope of the rest that shall be, By every tear where the penitent languish, Draw us in mercy more nearly to thee. Oh, love that constraineth, Love blest and free, Savior so tenderly, Draw us to thee. Hush with thy word, every wild wave of sorrow, (Owning its Lord as the waves of the sea) Lovingly guide o'er the way rough and narrow Bring us at last to thy heaven and thee. Oh, love that constraineth, Love blest and free, Savior so tenderly, Draw us to thee.
