O JESUS CHRIST, GROW THOU IN ME
?
Lyrics: Johann Casper Lavater?
Music: Ada Rose Gibbs?
O Jesus Christ, grow Thou in me,
? And all things else recede;
My heart be daily nearer Thee,
? From sin be daily freed.
?
Refrain:
Each day let Thy supporting might
? My weakness still embrace;
My darkness vanish in Thy light,
? ? Thy life my death efface.
In Thy bright beams which on me fall,
? Fade every evil thought;
That I am nothing, Thou art all,
? I would be daily taught.
More of Thy glory let me see,
? Thou Holy, Wise, and True;
I would Thy living image be,
? In joy and sorrow too.
Fill me with gladness from above,
? Hold me by strength divine;
Lord, let the glow of Thy great love
? Through all my being shine.
Make this poor self grow less and less,
? Be Thou my life and aim;
Oh, make me daily through Thy grace
? More meet to bear Thy name.
