Author: Lucy Larcom Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1266 Meter: 10.10.12.10 First Line: Draw Thou my soul, O Christ, closer to Thine Lyrics: 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, fulfills God’s holy will. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. EDMUND (Sullivan)
Draw Thou My Soul, O Christ
