I Know No Life Divided

lyricist: Carl Spitta, 1833
Composer: John Hullah, 1867

I know no life di­vid­ed

O Lord of life

from Thee;

In Thee is life pro­vid­ed

For all man­kind and me:

I know no death

O Je­sus

Because I live in Thee;

Thy death it is which frees us

From death eter­nal­ly.

I fear no tri­bu­la­tion

Since

what­so­e’er it be

It makes no se­pa­ra­tion

Between my Lord and me.

If Thou

my God and teach­er

Vouchsafe to be my own

Though poor

I shall be rich­er

Than mon­arch on his throne.

If

while on earth I wan­der

My heart is light and blest

Ah

what shall I be yon­der

In per­fect peace and rest?

O bless­èd thought! in dy­ing

We go to meet the Lord

Where there shall be no sigh­ing

A king­dom our re­ward.
