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, through mine
let Thy life shine.
Lead forth my soul, O Christ,
one with Thine own,
Joyful to follow Thee
through paths unknown;
In Thee my strength renew;
give me Thy work to do;
Through me Thy truth be shown,
Thy love made known.
Not for myself alone
may my prayer be;
Lift Thou Thy world, O Christ,
closer to Thee;
Cleanse it from guilt and wrong;
teach it salvation’s song
Till earth, as heaven, fulfills
God’s holy will.
