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! Heavenward our hopes ascend, Saviour and Lord and Friend! Oh, draw us all to Thee, Nearer to Thee! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALEXANDER'S FEAST; OR, THE POWER OF MUSIC by JOHN DRYDEN THE TUTELAGE by ROBERT MOWRY BELL TWO SONNETS: 2 by DAVID P.
