Draw Thou My Soul, O Christ

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.
