" Not I, but Christ," be honoured, loved, exalted ; "Not I, but Christ," be seen, be known, be heard ; " Not I, but Christ," in every look and action ; "Not I, but Christ," in every thought and word.
2. " Not I, but Christ," to gently soothe in sorrow ; " Not I, but Christ," to wipe the falling tear ; " Not I, but Christ," to lift the weary burden ; " Not I, but Christ," to hush away all fear.
3. " Not I, but Christ," in lowly, silent labour ; "Not I, but Christ," in humble, earnest toil ; Christ, only Christ ! no show, no ostentation ; Christ, none but Christ, the gatherer of the spoil.
4. Christ, only Christ, ere long will fill my vision ; Glory excelling, soon, full soon, I'll see---- Christ, only Christ, my every wish fulfilling---- Christ, only Christ, my All in All to be.
