Sing praise to Christ Who lives in us

Sing praise to Christ Who lives in us

The God of our salvation;

Who saves us by His life divine

And not by regulation;

After we’ve worked—done all we can

His life has power to change a man:

His life divine can change us.

He saves us to the uttermost

By His life-giving power;

Transfusing Himself into us

He saves us hour by hour.

He saved the lost by coming in

He’s saving now from more than sin:

He’s saving us to glory!

Our Lord was constituted priest

To be a real life-giver;

Life is the nature of this One

Who can from self deliver:

His life is indestructible

By it He saves us to the full:

Praise God

He’s fully able!

His life is fully qualified

To bring us through to glory;

Were it not for His tested life

’Twould be another story

His life was fully tried on earth

To crucifixion from His birth:

He passed through death and Hades.

He’s pledged to save us to the full

His life is operating;

He’s doing everything for us

’Tis all for our perfecting;

Our life’s a failure at its best

Only His life can stand the test:

His life brings full salvation!

He’s living now to intercede

Continuing forever;

He undertakes into the age

His priesthood changes never;

He always lives to intercede

Such a High Priest is what we need:

He’s higher than the heavens.

Come forward now to God through Him

Ne’er shrink back to destruction;

Come forward now to get the life

Which brings the proper function;

Come forward now the life to take

By life His people us He’ll make

And swallow death forever.
