Oh, to be empty and lowly
Meek and unnoticed and unknown
And to God, a vessel holy
Filled with Christ and Christ alone

How great is God! His grandeur endless
How frail I come before His throne
I am lost in love relentless
That Christ be all and I His own

May Christ be all and I be nothing
His glory shines in vessels weak
May Christ be all and I be nothing
This is my hope: Not I, but Christ in me
This is my hope:  Not I, but Christ in me

I am poor and I have nothing
All my deeds cannot avail
But Christ endured
The Father’s crushing

He bowed His head as Mercy bled
Peace to prevail
He bowed His head as Mercy bled
Peace to prevail

May Christ be all and I be nothing
His glory shines in vessels weak
May Christ be all and I be nothing
This is my hope: Not I, but Christ in me
This is my hope:  Not I, but Christ in me

Bring me low, my heart lower still
That your grace, my pride relieves
May these words resound loud until
Every tribe and tongue believes

Bring me low, my heart lower still
That your grace, my pride relieves
May these words resound loud until
Every tribe and tongue can sing

May Christ be all and I be nothing
His glory shines in vessels weak
May Christ be all and I be nothing
This is my hope: Not I, but Christ in me
This is my hope:  Not I, but Christ in me

On golden shores of sure salvation 
I will run to meet my King
Freed from shame and all accusation 
He’ll give Himself, nothing I’ll bring
He’ll give Himself, nothing I’ll bring
