367--Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,

Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,

367

	1.	Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
		Nor creed, nor form, nor word,
		Nor holy Church, nor human love,
		Compare with Thee, my Lord!
	2.	Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
		Thy love has conquered me;
		Beneath Thy Cross I die to self,
		And live alone to Thee.
	3.	Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
		My inmost being fill;
		So shall I think as Thou dost think,
		And will as Thou dost will.
	4.	Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
		Thy life transfigure mine;
		And through this veil of mortal flesh,
		Lord, let Thy splendor shine.
	5.	Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
		My soul exults in Thee;
		To be Thy slave, to do Thy will,
		Is my felicity.
