349. May the Mind of Christ My Savior

1 May the mind of Christ my Savior
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and pow'r controlling
All I do and say.

2 May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His pow'r.

3 May the peace of God, my Father,
Rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.

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

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

Amen.
