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. |
|
Refrain |
|
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 flowers of earth set free, |
So life and light and love came forth |
From Christ living in me. |
|
Refrain |
|
As lives the flower within the seed, |
As in the cone the tree, |
So, praise the God of truth and grace, |
His Spirit dwelleth in me. |
|
Refrain |
|
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. |
|
