Not I, but Christ

Not I, but Christ be honored, loved, exalted
Not I but Christ be seen, be known, be heard
Not I but Christ in ev'ry look and action
Not I but Christ in ev'ry thought and word

Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord!
Oh, to be lost in Thee!
Oh that it may be no more I, dear Lord
But Christ that lives in me

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 heavy burden
Not I, but Christ to hush away all fear

Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord!
Oh, to be lost in Thee!
Oh that it may be no more I, dear Lord
But Christ that lives in me

Christ only Christ, ere long will fill my vision
Glory excelling soon, full soon I'll see
Christ only Christ, my ev'ry wish fulfilling
Christ only Christ, my all in all to be

Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord!
Oh, to be lost in Thee!
Oh that it may be no more I, dear Lord
But Christ that lives in me
Oh that it may be no more I, dear Lord
But Christ that lives in me

Lost in Thee
