O Jesus Christ, grow Thou in me,
And all things else recede;
My heart be daily nearer Thee,
From sin be daily freed.
And all things else recede;
My heart be 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.
My weakness still embrace;
My darkness vanish in Thy light,
Thy life my death efface.
2
In Thy bright beams which on me fall,
Fade every evil thought;
That I am nothing, Thou art all,
I would be daily taught.
Fade every evil thought;
That I am nothing, Thou art all,
I would be daily taught.
3
More of Thy glory let me see,
Thou Holy, Wise, and True;
I would Thy living image be,
In joy and sorrow too.
Thou Holy, Wise, and True;
I would Thy living image be,
In joy and sorrow too.
4
Fill me with gladness from above,
Hold me by strength divine;
Lord, let the glow of Thy great love
Through all my being shine.
Hold me by strength divine;
Lord, let the glow of Thy great love
Through all my being shine.
5
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 Thy name.
Be Thou my life and aim;
Oh, make me daily through Thy grace
More meet to bear Thy name.

As I was sighing to the Lord asking Him to help me in my weakness, this song just came to me. Singing this song caused me to gain strength and go on with the Lord. ”Lord, thank You for Your all sufficient grace and for embracing my weaknesses. Be my life and aim. Lord, let me decrease and may You continually grow in me each day."

Every time I feel weak, I love to sing this song. It supplies me a lot. Just by singing this it seems that you are praying, "Oh Lord Jesus Christ grow in me. Fill me with gladness from above. I am nothing, You are my all. Be Thou my life and aim."

Whenever I listen and sing this song, I'm always refreshed. Oh thank You Lord. "Each day (Lord each day!) let Thy supporting might My weakness still embrace; My darkness vanish in Thy light, Thy life my death efface.

This is a nice tune from an operetta. the original words are "Drink to me only with thine eyes..."

Whenever I enjoy this song, the Lord always shine on me and make my heart turn to Him.
