Not I, but Christ Lyrics
1 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.
Refrain:
Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord,
Oh, to be lost in Thee;
Oh, that it may be no more I,
But Christ that lives in me.
2 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. (Refrain)
3 Not I, but Christ, in lowly, silent labor;
Not I, but Christ, in humble, earnest toil;
Christ, only Christ! no show, no ostentation!
Christ, none but Christ, the gatherer of the spoil. (Refrain)
4 Christ, only Christ, ere long will fill my vision;
Glory excelling, soon, full soon, I’ll see–
Christ, only Christ, my every wish fulfilling–
Christ, only Christ, my All in all to be. (Refrain)
Amen.
