Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
