1. Draw thou my soul, O Christ,
Closer to thine;
Breathe into every wish
Thy will divine:
Raised my low self above,
Won by thy deathless love,
Ever, O Christ, thro’ mine
Let thy life shine.
2. Lead forth my soul, O Christ,
One with thine own,
Joyful to follow thee
Thro’ paths unknown:
In thee my strength renew;
Give me thy work to do;
Through me thy truth be shown,
Thy love made known.
3. Not for myself alone
May my prayer be;
Lift thou thy world, O Christ,
Closer to thee:
Cleanse from its guilt and wrong,
Teach it salvation’s song,
Till earth, as heaven, fulfil
God’s holy will.
Amen.
