NOT I BUT CHRIST
Not I, but Christ, be honoured, loved, exalted Not I, but Christ, be seen, be known, be heard Not I, but Christ, in every look and action Not I, but Christ, in every thought and word. O to be saved from myself, dear Lord, O to be lost in Thee, O that it might be no more I, But Christ, that lives in me. Not I, but Christ, to gently soothe in sorrow Not I, but Christ, to wipe the falling tear Not I, but Christ, to lift the weary burden Not I, but Christ, to hush away all fear. Not I, but Christ, in lowly silent labour Not I, but Christ, in humble, earnest toil Christ, only Christ! No show, no ostentation Christ, none but Christ, the gatherer of the spoil. Christ, only Christ, ere long will fill my vision Glory excelling soon, full soon I’ll see Christ, only Christ, my every wish fulfilling Christ, only Christ, my all in all to be. Galatians 2:20
