395--O Jesus Christ, grow Thou in me,

O Jesus Christ, grow Thou in me,

395

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