I Live but in Thee

O light of my spir­it and joy of my heart

Thou chief among thou­sands

how love­ly Thou art!

I think of Thy good­ness wher­e’er I may be

My rock and sal­va­tion

I live but for Thee.

I live but in Thee

I live but in Thee

My rock and sal­va­tion

I live but in Thee;

I live but in Thee

I live but in Thee

My rock and sal­va­tion

I live but in Thee.

I care not for trea­sures that rust and de­cay

I seek not for plea­sures that van­ish away

Enough that my Sav­ior my por­tion will be

O lov­ing Re­deem­er

I live but in Thee.

Thus far hast Thou led me

I’ll trust Thee for all

I know Thou wilt ev­er re­spond to my call;

I feel that Thy grace is suf­fi­cient for me

O Sav­ior of sin­ners

I live but in Thee.
