Text: | Draw Thou My Soul |
Author: | Lucy Larcom |
Tune: | ST. EDMUND |
Composer: | Arthur S. Sullivan |
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 heaven, fulfill
God's holy will.
Amen.
