"HE MUST INCREASE"
Chorus:
He must increase, but I must decrease,
He must increase, but I must decrease
[Repeat]
I beseech you therefore brethren,
By the mercies of God,
I beseech you therefore brethren,
By the mercies of God,
That ye present your bodies, [your bodies]
A living sacrifice:
Holy, acceptable,
Acceptable unto God,
Which is your reasonable service
[Repeat Chorus]
I delight to do Thy Will, O my God:
Yea, Thy law is within my heart
Father, if Thou be willing,
Remove this cup from Me:
Father, if Thou be willing,
Remove this cup from Me:
Nevertheless not My Will, [not My Will]
But Thy Will be done,
Not My Will,
But Thy Will be done
[Repeat Chorus] Oh...
[Repeat Chorus]
I delight to do Thy Will, O my God:
Yea, Thy law is within my heart
I delight to do Thy Will, O my God:
Yea, Thy law is within my heart
He must increase!
