O JESUS CHRIST, GROW THOU IN ME
1. O Jesus Christ,
grow Thou in me,
And all things else
recede;
My heart be daily
nearer Thee,
From sin be daily
freed.
Refrain
Each day let Thy
supporting might
My weakness still
embrace;
My darkness vanish
in Thy light,
Thy life my death
efface.
2. In Thy bright
beams which on me fall,
Fade every evil
thought;
That I am nothing,
Thou art all,
I would be daily
taught.
3. More of Thy
glory let me see,
Thou Holy, Wise,
and True;
I would Thy living
image be,
In joy and sorrow
too.
4. Fill me with
gladness from above,
Hold me by strength
divine;
Lord, let the glow
of Thy great love
Through all my
being shine.
5. Make this poor
self grow less and less,
Be Thou my life and
aim;
Oh, make me daily
through Thy grace
More meet to bear
Thy name.
