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 controlling  
all I do and say.  

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

3 May the peace of God my Father  
Rule my life in everything,  
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 beauty rest upon me  
As I seek the lost to win;  
And may they forget the channel,  
Seeing only Him.
