Christ Liveth in Me

Once far from God and dead in sin

No light my heart could see;

But in God’s Word the light I found

Now Christ liv­eth in me.

Christ liv­eth in me

Christ liv­eth in me

Oh! what a sal­va­tion this

That Christ liv­eth in me.

As rays of light from yon­der sun

The flow­ers of earth set free

So life and light and love came forth

From Christ liv­ing in me.

As lives the flow­er with­in the seed

As in the cone the tree

So

praise the God of truth and grace

His Spir­it dwell­eth in me.

With long­ing all my heart is filled

That like Him I may be

As on the won­drous thought I dwell

That Christ liv­eth in me.
