Be Thou Supreme

Be Thou su­preme

O Je­sus Christ

Nor creed

nor form

nor word

Nor ho­ly church

nor hu­man love

Compare with Thee

my Lord.

Be Thou su­preme

O Je­sus Christ

Thy love has con­quered me;

Beneath Thy cross I die to self

And live alone to Thee.

Be Thou su­preme

O Je­sus Christ

My in­most be­ing fill;

So shall I think as Thou dost think

And will as Thou dost will.

Be Thou su­preme

O Je­sus Christ

Thy life trans­fig­ure mine;

And through this veil of mor­tal flesh

Lord

let Thy splen­dors shine.

Be Thou su­preme

O Je­sus Christ

My soul ex­ults in Thee;

To be Thy slave

to do Thy will

Is my fe­li­ci­ty.
