Lyrics

May the mind of Christ, my Sav­ior,
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and power controlling
All I do and say.

May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power.

May the peace of God my Fa­ther
Rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.

May the love of Je­sus fill me
As the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is vic­to­ry.

May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Je­sus
As I onward go.

May His beauty rest upon me,
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.
