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.
In Thy bright beams which on me fall,
Fade every evil
thought;
That I am nothing, Thou art all,
I would be daily
taught.
Refrain
More of Thy glory let me see,
Thou Holy, Wise, and True;
I would Thy living image be,
In joy and sorrow too.
Refrain
Fill me with gladness from above,
Hold me by strength
divine;
Lord, let the glow of Thy great love
Through all
my being shine.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
