| Live Thyself, Lord Jesus, through me,
|
| For my very life art Thou;
|
| Thee I take to all my problems
|
| As the full solution now.
|
| Live Thyself, Lord Jesus, through me,
|
| In all things Thy will be done;
|
| I but a transparent vessel
|
| To make visible the Son.
|
| Consecrated is Thy temple,
|
| Purged from every stain and sin;
|
| May Thy flame of glory now be
|
| Manifested from within.
|
| Let the earth in solemn wonder
|
| See my body willingly
|
| Offered as Thy slave obedient,
|
| Energized alone by Thee.
|
| Every moment, every member,
|
| Girded, waiting Thy command;
|
| Underneath the yoke to labor
|
| Or be laid aside as planned.
|
| When restricted in pursuing,
|
| No disquiet will beset;
|
| Underneath Thy faithful dealing
|
| Not a murmur or regret.
|
| Ever tender, quiet, restful,
|
| Inclinations put away,
|
| That Thou may for me choose freely
|
| As Thy finger points the way.
|
| Live Thyself, Lord Jesus, through me,
|
| For my very life art Thou;
|
| Thee I take to all my problems
|
| As the full solution now. |
