A Song that was Spoken as a Benediction one Sunday at church.

Draw Thou My Soul, O Christ" - A Hymn by Lucy Larcom

Draw thou my soul, O Christ, 

Closer to thine;

Breathe into every wish

Thy will divine!

Raise 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 the

Through paths unknown!

In the my strength renew;

Give me my 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,

Till earth, as heaven, fulfill

God's holy will.  Amen.

Have a blessed day! 

Shine bright firefly, shine bright.

Just some thoughts . . .
