Methodist-Hymns-463
1: O JESUS CHRIST, grow thou in me,
And all things else recede;
My heart be daily nearer thee,
From sin be daily freed.
2: Each day let thy supporting might
My weakness still embrace;
My darkness vanish in thy light,
Thy life my death efface.
3: In thy bright beams which on me fall,
Fade every evil thought;
That I am nothing, thou art all,
I would be daily taught.
4: More of thy glory let me see,
Thou holy, wise, and true!
I would thy living image be,
In joy and sorrow too.
5: Fill me with gladness from above,
Hold me by strength divine!
Lord, let the glow of thy great love
Through my whole being shine.
6: Make this poor self grow less and less,
Be thou my life and aim;
O make me daily, through thy grace,
More meet to bear thy name!
