644. May the mind of Christ my Saviour

1 May the mind of Christ my Saviour
live in me from day to day,
Jesus' love and power controlling
all I do or say.

2 May the word of God dwell richly
in my heart from hour to hour,
so that all may see I triumph
only through God's power.

3 May the peace of God my Sovereign
rule my life in everything,
that I may be calm to comfort
sick and sorrowing.

4 May the love of Jesus fill me,
as the waters fill the sea;
Christ exalting, self denying,
this is victory.

5 May I run the race before me,
strong and brave to face the foe,
looking only unto Jesus
as I onward go.
