5. Let Me Lose Myself in Thee

1 Lord, let me lose myself in Thee,
Let love of earthly things depart;
Bid all vain pride and boasting flee,
Rule Thou alone within my heart.

Refrain:
In Thee, in Thee,
Let me lose myself in Thee.

2 Lord, let me lose myself in Thee,
And hold my lamp so high above,
That looking up, the world may see
Not me, but Christ, the Lord I love. [Refrain]

3 Lord, let me lose myself in Thee,
Let ev’ry thought be sanctified,
From sin and fear O set me free,
Be Thou, O Lord, my only guide. [Refrain]

4 Lord, let me lose myself in Thee,
And feel no binding ties but Thine,
May faith Thy fullness clearly see,
Appropriate the life divine. [Refrain]
