Hymn Context Compare
With mutual blessings crowned.
Casting out all ev­il pas­sions,
And joy from heart to heart;
Evil thoughts, per­verse be­hav­ior,
Lifting my life till it ris­es ab­ove
Freedom from all the carnal affections,
Pressing hard on ev­ery side,
Self re­nounc­ing, self for­get­ting,
Christ for me! Christ for me!
Of self­ish­ness which makes the soul un­just,
And would not own Thy sway,
So Lord I lay my hands on You in all I do.

Envy

Be banished far away:
Walking with Je­sus in spir­it,
Our wishes all above,
From the world, the flesh, de­liv­er,
Seeking to be, seek­ing to be,
Freedom from vain and worldly ambitions.
They are cru­el, fierce and strong,
Dearest in­ter­ests sac­ri­fic­ing,
Christ for me! Christ for me!
Lord, I re­pent; ac­cept my tears and grief:
And hate and an­ger slay.
Lord, in me is only pride and no humility.
