1. O Jesus Christ, grow Thou in me,
    And all things else recede;
    My heart be daily nearer Thee,
    From sin be daily freed.

Refrein:

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.
