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.
