O Jesus Christ, grow Thou in me

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. |

In Thy bright beams which on me fall, Fade every evil thought; That I am nothing, Thou art all, I would be daily taught. |

More of Thy glory let me see, Thou Holy, Wise, and True; I would Thy living image be, In joy and sorrow too. |

Fill me with gladness from above, Hold me by strength divine; Lord, let the glow of Thy great love Through all my being shine. |

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. |

I love these words: Each day let Thy supporting might my weakness still embrace; my darkness vanish in Thy light, Thy life my death efface. Lord, keep embracing me in my weakness. Change my darkness into light. Your life my death efface.
