May the Mind of Christ, My Savior

483 May the Mind of Christ, My Savior

1 May the mind of Christ my Savior
   Live in me from day to day,
   By his love and pow'r inspiring
   All I do or say.

2 May the Word of God dwell richly
   In my heart from hour to hour,
   So that all may see I triumph
   Only through his pow'r.

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

4 May the love of Jesus fill me
   As the waters fill the sea,
   Him exalting, self abasing --
   This is victory!

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

6 May his spirit live within me
   As I seek the lost to win,
   And may they forget the channel,
   Seeing only him.
