| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 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. |
