[ Verse 1 ]
Not I, but Christ, be honored, loved, exalted, 
Not I, but Christ, be seen, be known, be heard; 
Not I, but Christ, in every look and action;
Not I, but Christ, in every thought and word.
[ Verse 2 ]
Not I, but Christ, to gently soothe in sorrow;
Not I, but Christ, to wipe the falling tear
Not I, but Christ, to lift the weary burden
Not I, but Christ, to hush away all fear.
[ Verse 3 ]
Not I, but Christ, in lowly, silent labor;
Not I, but Christ, in humble, earnest toil;
Christ, only Christ! no show, no ostentation! 
Christ, none but Christ, the gatherer of the spoil.
[ Verse 4 ]
Christ, only Christ, ere long will fill my vision; 
Glory excelling, soon, full soon, I’ll see -  
Christ, only Christ, my every wish fulfilling —

THE COLLEGE HYMN
[ Verse 1 ]
Jesus our Lord, our Light and our Salvation, 
Inspire our lips to sing Thy worthy fame, 
Spreading abroad to every tribe and nation, 
The saving knowledge of Thy glorious Name.
[ Verse 2 ]
Help us O Lord, to keep our pledge unbroken, 
Guard Thou our ways, our thoughts, our tongues, our hearts; 
Help us to trust the Word which Thou hast spoken, 
That from Thy paths, our feet may ne’er depart.
[ Verse 3 ]
Here in these halls of learning and devotion 
Let mind and heart be taught Thy holy will;
Then lead us forth, amid this world’s commotion, 
Our high and sacred calling to fulfil.
[ Verse 4 ]
Help us O Lord! Our strength is only weakness: 
Thine, Thine the power by which alone we live;
Help us each day to bear the cross with meekness, 
Till Thou at last the promised crown shalt give.

PRAISE, MY SOUL, THE KING OF HEAVEN
[ Verse 1 ]
Praise, my soul, the King of heaven, To His feet thy tribute bring; 
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who, like me, His praise should sing?
Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the Everlasting King!
[ Verse 2 ]
Praise Him for His grace and favor To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him, still the same forever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Glorious in His faithfulness!
[ Verse 3 ]
Father-like, He tends and spares us; Well our feeble frame He knows,
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Widely as His mercy flows!
[ Verse 4 ]
Angels, help us to adore Him, Ye behold Him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him;
Dwellers all in time and space,
Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace!

[ Heading 6a ]
MY GRACIOUS LORD, I OWN THY RIGHT
[ Verse 1 ]
My gracious Lord, I own Thy right To every service I can pay,
And call it my supreme delight To hear Thy dictates, and obey.
[ Verse 2 ]
What is my being but for Thee, Its sure support, its noblest end? 
Thy eversmiling face to see, And serve the cause of such a Friend.
[ Verse 3 ]
I would not breathe for worldly joy, Or to increase my worldly good;
Nor future days nor powers employ, To spread a sounding name abroad.
[ Verse 4 ]
'Tis to my Saviour I would live, To Him who for my ransom died;
Nor could untainted Eden give Such bliss as blossoms at His side.
[ Verse 5 ]
His work my hoary age shall bless, When youthful vigour is no more;
And my last hour of life confess His love hath animating power.
[ Heading 6b ]
A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD
[ Verse 1 ]
A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are 
great,
And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal.
[ Verse 2 ]
Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side! The Man of God’s own choosing. 
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth His name, 
From age to age the same, And He must win the battle.
[ Verse 3 ]
And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, 
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim — We tremble not for him; His rage we can 
endure,
For lo! his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him.
[ Verse 4 ]
That word above all earthly powers — No thanks to them — abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth,
Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: 
God’s truth abideth still, His Kingdom is forever.
