452. In Me

1 Thou, O Christ, my Lord and King,
Grant in Thine own name my plea.
Take the sacrifice I bring,
Be Thou "All Thou art" in me.
Be Thou "All Thou art" in me.
Be Thou "All Thou art" in me.
Take the sacrifice I bring,
Be Thou "All Thou art" in me.

2 Thou a wonder working God,
Dwelling in eternity,
As in flesh our planet trod,
Work Thy mighty work in me.
Work Thy mighty work in me.
Work Thy mighty work in me.
As in flesh our planet trod,
Work Thy mighty work in me.

3 Prince of peace beyond compare,
Thou whose power stilled the sea,
Chief among ten thousand-fair,
Speak Thy work of peace in me.
Speak Thy work of peace in me.
Speak Thy work of peace in me.
Chief among ten thousand-fair,
Speak Thy work of peace in me.

4 O Thou mighty God of love,
Died Thyself to set us free.
Holy Spirit, heav'nly dove,
Magnify Thy love in me.
Magnify Thy love in me.
Magnify Thy love in me.
Holy Spirit, heav'nly dove,
Magnify Thy love in me.

5 Jesus, Thou the life, the way,
In Thine image let me be;
Keep my heart from day to day,
Live Thy holy life in me.
Live Thy holy life in me.
Live Thy holy life in me.
Keep my heart from day to day,
Live Thy holy life in me.

6 Jesus, Thou the joy untold,
Like a river flowing free.
Be thou ever in my soul,
Let Thy joy abound in me.
Let Thy joy abound in me.
Let Thy joy abound in me.
Be thou ever in my soul,
Let Thy joy abound in me.
