1 May the mind of Christ my Savior 
live in me from day to day, 
by his love and power 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 power. 

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 I run the race before me, 
strong and brave to face the foe, 
looking only unto Jesus 
as I onward go.

6 May his beauty rest upon me
as I seek the lost to win,
and may they forget the channel,
seeing only him.
