BE THOU SUPREME, O JESUS CHRIST
1. Be Thou supreme,
O Jesus Christ,
Nor creed, nor
form, nor word;
Nor holy Church,
nor human love,
Compare with Thee,
my Lord!
2. Be Thou supreme,
O Jesus Christ,
Thy love has conquered
me;
Beneath Thy Cross I
die to self,
And live alone to
Thee.
3. Be Thou supreme,
O Jesus Christ,
My inmost being
fill;
So shall I think as
Thou dost think,
And will as Thou
dost will.
4. Be Thou supreme,
O Jesus Christ,
Thy life
transfigure mine;
And through this
veil of mortal flesh,
Lord, let Thy
splendor shine.
5. Be Thou Supreme,
O Jesus Christ,
My soul exults in
Thee,
To be Thy slave, to
do Thy will,
Is my felicity.
