O Jesus Christ, Grow Thou In Me
O Jesus Christ, grow Thou in me,
And all things else recede;
My heart is daily nearer Thee
From sin be daily freed.
Each day let Thy supporting might
My weakness still embrace;
My darkness vanish in Thy light,
Thy life my death efface.
More of Thy glory let me see,
Thou Holy, Wise, and True!
I would Thy living image be,
In joy and sorrow too.
Make this poor self grow less and less,
Be Thou my life and aim;
Oh, make me daily, through Thy grace,
More meet to bear The Name!
Johann Caspar Lavater,
