All that pass by, To Jesus draw near,
He utters a cry, Ye sinners, give ear!
From hell to retrieve you He spreads out his hands;
Now, now to receive you, He graciously stands.
If any man thirst, And happy would be,
The vilest and worst May come unto me,
May drink of my Spirit, Excepted is none,
Lay claim to my merit, And take for his own.
Whoever receives The life-giving word,
In Jesus believes, His God and his Lord,
In him a pure river Of life shall arise,
Shall in the believer Spring up to the skies.
My God and my Lord! Thy call I obey,
My soul on thy word Of promise I stay,
Thy kind invitation I gladly embrace,
Athirst for salvation, Salvation by grace.
O hasten the hour! Send down from above
The Spirit of power, Of health, and of love,
Of filial fear, Of knowledge and grace,
Of wisdom and prayer, Of joy and of praise;
The Spirit of faith, Of faith in thy blood,
Which saves us from wrath, And brings us to God,
Removes the huge mountain Of indwelling sin,
And opens a fountain That washes us clean.

Comments1I enjoyed going through your poetry and found myself thinking about the creative possibilities it could offer beyond the written page. Its verses could inspire a collection of illustrations that express the ideas and emotions in a more visual way, while still following the direction of your original writing.
I'm a professional commission-based comic artist specializing in custom paid artwork for writers and creative projects. I would love to explore a visual adaptation of your poetry, developing connected illustrations that give its different moments their own artistic presence.
If you're interested in this approach, I'd be glad to share examples of my previous work, discuss your vision, and explore a project that suits your budget.
