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

Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord

Oh, to be lost in Thee

Oh, that it may be no more I, dear Lord

But Christ that lives in me

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 heavy burden

Not I, but Christ to hush away all fear

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
