1
O Jesus Christ grow Thou in me
And all things else recede
My heart be daily nearer Thee
From sin be daily freed
2
Each day let Thy supporting might
My weakness still embrace
My darkness vanish in Thy light
Thy life my death efface
3
In Thy bright beams which on me fall
Fade every evil thought
That I am nothing Thou art all
I would be daily taught
4
More of Thy glory let me see
Thou holy wise and true
I would Thy living image be
In joy and sorrow too
5
Fill me with gladness from above
Hold me by strength divine
Lord make the glow of Thy great love
Through my whole being shine
6
Make this poor self grow less and less
Be Thou my life and aim
O make me daily through Thy grace
More meet to bear Thy name
