Not I, but Christ (EN 5034)

EN 5034 Not I, but Christ

Gal.2.20

Versi Version 1

1

Not I, but Christ, be honored, 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.

2

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.

3

Christ, only Christ! no idle words e’er falling,

Christ, only Christ; no needless bustling sound;

Christ, only Christ; no self important bearing;

Christ, only Christ; no trace of “I” be found.

4

Not I, but Christ, my every need supplying,

Not I, but Christ, my strength and health to be;

Not I, but Christ, for body, soul, and spirit,

Christ, only Christ, here and eternally.

5

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.
