Live Out Thy Life Within Me

Live out Thy life with­in me

O Je­sus

King of kings!

Be Thou Thy­self the an­swer

To all my quest­ion­ings;

Live out Thy life with­in me

In all things have Thy way!

I

the trans­par­ent me­di­um

Thy glo­ry to dis­play.

The tem­ple has been yield­ed

And pu­ri­fied of sin

Let Thy She­ki­nah glo­ry

Now shine forth from with­in

And all the earth keep si­lence

The body hence­forth be

Thy si­lent

gen­tle serv­ant

Moved on­ly as by Thee.

Its mem­bers ev­ery mo­ment

Held sub­ject to Thy call

Ready to have Thee use them

Or not be used at all

Held with­out rest­less long­ing

Or strain

or stress

or fret

Or chaf­ings at Thy deal­ings

Or thoughts of vain re­gret.

But rest­ful

calm and pli­ant

From bend and bi­as free

Awaiting Thy de­ci­sion

When Thou hast need of me.

Live out Thy life with­in me

O Je­sus

King of kings!

Be Thou the glo­ri­ous an­swer

To all my quest­ion­ings.
