| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 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. |
