1.    “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.
