Not I, but Christ

Not I, but Christ, be honored, 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;

Chorus:
Oh, to be saved from myself dear Lord, Oh to be lost in Thee;
Oh, that it might be never I , but Christ that lives in me.

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.

Not I, but Christ, my every need supplying;
Not I, but Christ, my strength and health to be;
Christ, only Christ, for body, soul, and spirit;
Christ, only Christ, live then Thy life in me.

Christ, only Christ, ere long will fill my vision;
Glory excelling soon, full soon I'll see-
Christ, only Christ, my every wish fullfilling-
Christ, only Christ, my all in all to be.

-A.A.F. (This hymn is said by some to have been written by Fannie. E. Bolton,
but this is disputed, as Fannie has admitted to arranging writings from other's works.
My hymnal simply says "A.A.F." Whichever is the case, I like the message of this hymn.)
