One of my favourite hymns. Note especially the third verse, given the current conversation.
Sing-a-long below the lyrics.
May the mind of Christ my Saviour
live in me from day to day,
by His love and power and controlling
all I do and say.
May the Word of God dwell richly
in my heart from hour to hour
so that all may see I triumph
only through His power.
May the peace of God my Father
rule my life in everything,
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.
May I run the race before me
strong and brace to face the foe,
looking only unto Jesus
as I onward go.
live in me from day to day,
by His love and power and controlling
all I do and say.
May the Word of God dwell richly
in my heart from hour to hour
so that all may see I triumph
only through His power.
May the peace of God my Father
rule my life in everything,
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.
May I run the race before me
strong and brace to face the foe,
looking only unto Jesus
as I onward go.
Katie Barclay Wilkinson (1859 - 1928)
