May the love of Jesus fill me,
As the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is victory.

May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.

May His beauty rest upon me
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.

As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.

And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.

Hallelujah for the mind of Christ to be in us actually means that this mind is something living – the mind of Christ is Christ Himself, for His person is manifested in His mind. Praise the Lord 😀
Phil 2:5 Let athis mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,

I came across this hymn at our church service today for the first time. I pray each stanza of this hymn will be my life as I run the race before in Jesus name Amen

This hymn was written by Kate Barclay Wilkinson. It was not published until shortly before her death, a dozen or more years after it was written. We know almost nothing about about Mrs. Wilkinson, except that she may have worked with young women in London, and she may have been involved with the Keswick Convention in the UK.
But this hymn is actually rather profound and deep, speaking of how we should walk as Christians. It has been suggested that the six stanzas of the hymn are for each day of the week, leading up to the Lord’s Day, though of course, they carry truths which we need to heed to and be mindful of each and every day. The first stanza speaks of the mind of Christ, taken from Philippians 2. Following that, we are told to include in our lives God‘s Word (Colossians 3), His peace, and His love, and to live our lives with Christ as our center
(Hebrews12), and finally, to demonstrate the beauty of Christ in our lives. The fact that God can use a lone hymn written by an unknown person, to be a blessing to so many people in the generations that follow is actually a wonderful encouragement and comfort to us believers in our pilgrimage through this world with the hope that our “one talent” will have value for eternity. It is God who uses and multiplies what we offer to Him.

It's great to come across this highly inspirational hymn for the first time through the Herald of His Coming Publication. May the Mind of CHRIST my Saviour be found in me always till I see Him face to face in Jesus'Name. Thanks to the Hymnal.net for giving me the tune.

As I was preparing a Sermon on James 3 1 12 this Hymn came to me. May God control all I do and say. Amen

I woke up in the morning thinking about life's journey and how to please God in everything that I do and say in the face of mounting challenges spiritually, physically, emotionally, and psychologically. This hymn came to mind and started singing whilst at the same time thinking about my son writing his final WASSC examination and how I have prayed to God and continue to pray that God gives my son a success with excellence when the results are released no matter the situation believing that with God all things are possible, in fact, nothing is impossible to those who believe and trust in Him. Amen

Him exalting, self abasing: this is victory!

I woke up this morning with the words of this song in my mouth. A great prayer. Used to be my high school song in the sixties. I didn't realise the truths at the time but now I do. It is still prayer today. May God help me.
