Oh, the bitter shame and sorrow,
That a time could ever be,
When I let the Savior’s pity
Plead in vain, and proudly answered,
All of self, and none of Thee,
All of self and none of Thee.

Yet He found me; I beheld Him
Bleeding on the cursed tree;
Heard Him pray, Forgive them, Father,
And my wistful heart said faintly,
Some of self, and some of Thee,
Some of self, and some of Thee.

Heard Him pray, Forgive them, Father,

Some of self, and some of Thee,

Day by day His tender mercy,
Healing, helping, full and free,
Sweet and strong, and ah! so patient,
Brought me lower while I whispered,
Less of self, and more of Thee,
Less of self, and more of Thee.
Healing, helping, full and free,
Sweet and strong, and ah! so patient,
Brought me lower while I whispered,
Less of self, and more of Thee,

Higher than the highest heavens,
Deeper than the deepest sea,
Lord, Thy love at last hath conquered;
Grant me now my heart’s petition,
None of self, and all of Thee,
None of self, and all of Thee.

Théodore Monod was born November 6, 1836 in Paris, France. His parents were Frédéric Monod, a pastor, and Constance de Conick. Théodore came from a very Godly family that wielded a very positive influence in France. Because there were so many Monods in ministry, including “Adolph, ” a famous preacher, and his uncle, it is sometimes hard to figure out his family roots.
Monod studied law at the Sorbonne Theological Studies at Western Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He pastored a French speaking Presbyterian congregation in Kankakee, Illinois from 1861 to 1863. In September 1863, he returned to Paris and took over the pastorate of Chappel du Nord from his ailing father who was sick with cancer. Under his directive, the church soon became involved in Robert Whittaker McAll’s “Mission Populaire Evangelique, ” ministry to reach the common people of Paris.
In June 1874, Monod joined Robert Pearsall Smith in promoting a deeper spiritual life. As a result, he attended some of the early conferences in England and was one of the keynote speakers at the Oxford Union Meeting for the Promotion of Scriptural Holiness in August-September 1874. He also spoke at the Brighton Conference in May-June 1875. As a result of the blessings of God on his ministry, he gave up his pastoral role and became a deeper life evangelist.
In 1878 he returned to a regular pastoral role at the Reformed “Temple du Marais, ” however, he continued to serve a speaker at many venues, where the deeper life was being sought, particularly the Keswick Convention. In these endeavors he worked with Theodore Jellinghaus and Otto Stockmayer.
In 1892 he took a parish role with the Oratoire du Louvre. From 1875 to 1879 he published the Literateur magazine. Among his personal writings, he saw the publishing of “Looking to Jesus” in 1862. Revival sermons were included in 1876 “The Gift of God” and translated into German in 1882. Also, the Life More Abundant (1881). Many of his songs were first written in English and then translated into other European languages, the best known being “None of Self and All of Thee, ” written in 1874. Due to the success of the conference that year, the hymn was placed in many hymnals, usually under the title: “Oh the Bitter Shame and Sorrow. ”
Monod was married to his cousin Gertrude Monod in 1867, who was the daughter of the surgeon Gustave Monod. They had seven sons and two daughters. Two of the sons died early. One son, Wilfred, was the pastor at the Oratoire, and father of the writer and typographer Maximilien Vox and the zoologist and African explorer, Théodore Monod. who was married to Emilie Lindop in 1882 and together had a son.
Théodore Monod passed away on February 26, 1921 at the age of 84. He became known as the French Preacher of Holiness.

As a "retired" English teacher, I would not restrict using words such as Thee for the young peoples' sake. Their minds are young and can grasp new vocabulary easily. It is cheating them of learning, knowledge, and history. "Thee" and "thou" represent forms of formal address, which young people should learn, because there is little formal address left in their world--anything goes. The thinking on this concept of not using unfamiliar words is faulty by my understanding. We use the King James Bible for most study, and our children have no problems with the language once they become familiar with it. In fact, it is an enriching experience as far as language and Bible study is concerned.

A long lost hymn. I finally found today.
