     1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.

     2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance. 3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you? 4 Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me. 5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north. 6 Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God. 7 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them. 8 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh. 9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh. 10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.(KJV)

1. Draw us to Thee, 
For then shall we 
Walk in Thy steps forever 
And hasten on 
Where Thou art gone 
To be with Thee, dear Savior. 

2. Draw us to Thee, 
Lord, lovingly; 
Let us depart with gladness 
That we may be 
Forever free 
From sorrow, grief, and sadness. 

3. Draw us to Thee; 
Oh, grant that we 
May walk the road to heaven! 
Direct our way 
Lest we should stray 
And from Thy paths be driven. 

4. Draw us to Thee 
That also we 
Thy heavenly bliss inherit 
And ever dwell 
Where sin and hell 
No more can vex our spirit. 

5. Draw us to Thee 
Unceasingly, 
Into Thy kingdom take us; 
Let us fore’er 
Thy glory share, 
Thy saints and joint heirs make us.
