Christ Liveth in Me

Verse 1

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.

Chorus

Christ liveth in me, Christ liveth in me, Oh! what a salvation this, That Christ liveth in me.

Verse 2

As rays of light from yonder sun, The flow’rs of earth set free, So life and light and love came forth From Christ living in me.

Verse 3

As lives the flow’r within the seed, As in the cone the tree, So, praise the God of truth and grace, His Spirit dwelleth in me.

Verse 4

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.
