SEEKING TO WIN CHRIST

1.    All that I shall ever wish and aim inlife henceforth shall be,
       Only knowing Christ my Lord and grow like Himto be;
       Now I count but loss all that were my gain
       And I follow after apprehending that my prize Ishall obtain.
                    
           CHORUS

       O to love and serve Him
       With devotion true!
       Then in Zion I’ll continue
       To serve Him evermore.

2.    Christ is now my life and hence for me to die shall be a gain;
       When He comes then I shall His glory to attain;
       So I’m pressing on, seeking Christ to win
       And forgetting things which are behind and longing to be found in Him.

3.    Though I’m now beset with trials and pressed by all on every side,
       Yet I’ll lean on Christ Who is my Strength and Rock and Guide.
       Joyful in my God, I shall run my race;
       I will count my life not dear to me and witness to His Word of grace.

4.    To my precious Lord I owe my life, my love, my everything!
       In Him do I dwell and in Him have I all my springs.
       Though my footsteps slide, yet He’ll bear me through
       And He’ll lead me on from strength to strength and daily in Him me renew.

5.    Naught have I to claim as mine save Christ Who gaveHis life for me;
       I am yearning with my Lord in glorious Zion to be.
       Yielding to His will, all my life I lay;
       He will fill me as I wait on Him and lead me till that Blessed Day.
