Not all the blood of beasts,

- Not I, but Christ, be honoured, loved, exalted;
- not I, but Christ, be seen, be known, be heard;
- not I, but Christ, in ev'ry look and action;
- not I, but Christ, in ev'ry thought and word.
- 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, in lowly, silent labour;
- not I, but Christ, in humble earnest toil;
- Christ, only Christ, no show, no ostentation;
- Christ, none but Christ, the gatherer of the spoil.
- Christ, only Christ, ere long will fill my vision;
- glory excelling, soon, full soon, I'll see -
- Christ, only Christ, my every wish fulfilling -
- Christ, only Christ, my all in all to be.
