First Line: Not I, but Christ, be honoured,

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.
