1 How to reach the masses, those of ev’ry birth, For an answer Jesus gave the key; “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, Will draw all men unto Me.”
Refrain: Lift the precious savior 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.”
2 Oh! 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.” [Refrain]
3 Don’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.” [Refrain]
4 Lift Him up by living as a Christian ought, Let the world in you the Savior see; Then all will gladly follow Him who once taught, “I’ll draw all men unto Me.” [Refrain]
