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!

Make it alive in Thee—per­fect in Thee!

Nearer to Thee

O Christ

near­er to Thee!

Till we in Thy dear face God’s glo­ry see!

Heav’nward our hopes as­cend

Savior and Lord and friend!

Oh

draw us all to Thee

near­er to Thee!
