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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Only the Lord's Spirit our spirit can cry with such utterance. In my failures, Its a hymn of comfort for me, assuring me that God will eventually save me to the uttermost.

Hallelujah for such a one. We sin, but in Him we can be daily freed. We are weak, but He is our supporting might. We are in darkness, but He is our light. We are dead, but He is life. We are nothing, but He is all. What a privilege to have such a One in us. Lord, grow more in me each day.

Jesus grow within me and let my self grow less is my daily prayer. And we grow in Him by eating Jesus daily. It is not by doctrines or knowledge but by eating Jesus. Saints let embrace Jesus in our life daily.

This is a wonderful hymn. We need to allow Jesus Christ to grow in us. Let all us recede. It has been my daily prayer and am being transformed day after day. My daily life I must involve Jesus Christ in everything. Churches in Kenya greet all the saints in other localities in the World.
