570 ~ Not I, but Christ
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.
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.
3
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.
4
Not I, but Christ, my every need supplying, Not I, but Christ, my strength and health to be; Christ, only Christ, for body, soul, and spirit, Christ, only Christ, here and eternally.
