May the Mind of Christ my Savior

May the mind of Christ my Savior
Live in me from day to day.
By His love and power controlling 
All I do and say.

 May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power.

 May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea.
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is victory.

 May His beauty rest upon me
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel
Seeing only Him.

 May I run the race before me
Strong and brave to face the foe;
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.

 ~Arthur Cyril Barham-Gould, Kate Barclay Wilkinson

They's something kindo' harty-like about the atmusfere When the heat of summer's over and the coolin' fall is here-- Of course we miss the flowers, and the blossums on the trees, And the mumble of the hummin-birds and buzzin' of the bees; But the air's so appetizin'
