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, through mine let Thy life shine.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 Heav’n, fulfills God’s holy will.
