Notes About The Poem

Towards Thee Hymn

“My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed thee" 
-Charles Wesley (Amazing grace)


Divine light beckons towards thee,
though darkness blinds, wind howls a cry,
I hear no voice but you call me,
Christ, pray be my strength, be my guide!

Tredge my way anew to be free,
earth trembles wrecked by woeful sins,
walk towards thee but cannot see,
Christ, pray be my strength, be my guide!

Glow of truth lights my heart with glee,
roses in bloom where desert be,
if It be thy will thy decree!
Christ, pray be my strength, be my guide!
