MAY THE MIND OF CHRIST MY SAVIOR

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

May we run the race before us,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As we onward go.

 

by Kate B. Wilkinson, 1925
