- 1How to reach the masses, men of every birth?For an answer, Jesus gave a key,“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,Will draw all men unto Me.”Lift Him up, (lift the precious Savior up,)Lift Him up, (lift the precious Savior up,)Still He speaks from eternity,“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,Will draw all men unto Me.”
- 2O the world is hungry for the living bread,Lift the Savior up for them to see,Trust Him, and do not doubt the words that He said,“I’ll draw all men unto Me.”Lift Him up, (lift the precious Savior up,)Lift Him up, (lift the precious Savior up,)Still He speaks from eternity,“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,Will draw all men unto Me.”
- 3Don’t exalt the preacher, don’t exalt the pew,Preach the Gospel simple, full and free;Prove Him and you will find that promise is true,“I’ll draw all men unto Me.”Lift Him up, (lift the precious Savior up,)Lift Him up, (lift the precious Savior up,)Still He speaks from eternity,“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,Will draw all men unto Me.”
- 4Lift Him up by living as a Christian ought,Let the world in you the Savior see,Then men will gladly followHim Who once taught,“I’ll draw all men unto Me.”Lift Him up, (lift the precious Savior up,)Lift Him up, (lift the precious Savior up,)Still He speaks from eternity,“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,Will draw all men unto Me.”
