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.
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and pow’r controlling
All I do and say.

May the Word of Christ dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His pow’r.
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His pow’r.

May the peace of Christ my Savior
Rule my life in every thing,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.
Rule my life in every thing,
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.
As the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is victory.
5
May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.
6
May His beauty rest upon me
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.

Thanks for this hymn! I feel much strengthened after singing it!
You could really make a sermon out of every stanza. Such powerful and true words.

This song got me through a really tough time of conflict, as I struggled with what to think. People I loved were on opposing sides of an issue and I desperately wanted only to be on God's side - LOVE!
These words really are so power, beautiful and poignant. An apt reminder of what we are and are being transformed to be!

We sang this song in church this morning...and the verse "May the peace of Christ my Savior" really hit me. I lost my older brother on Sept 14th to alcoholism...just one month after losing my Mum to dementia on Aug 14th. I've been praying to God for peace of mind and last night I had the first restful full nights sleep. God is good!!!

This was my old headmaster's personal favourite when I was at school in Ormskirk (UK) back in the 60's. We sang it perhaps too often, to the exclusion of others, but read slowly and thoughtfully, these words are marvellous.

The verse: 'May I run the race before me' has been in my mind these last few days (I recently lost my husband of 30 years at the age of 52). Knew the hymn but couldn't quite remember the words so very glad to find the lyrics: 'strong and brave... as I onward go' May I be that.

We sang this song in church this morning. Expresses my wishes for every day. What a great song for morning prayer.

This hymn expresses the prayer of my heart perfectly that is why the apostle Peter calls our love for Jesus: "Like precious faith" or "the common salvation".
I am sure these sentiments are shared by millions of Christians all over the world.
Prais the Lord for such prayers as this.
