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 flow’rs of earth set free

So life and light and love come forth

From Christ living in me.

As lives the flow’r within the seed

As in the cone the tree

So

praise the Christ 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.
