I know no life divided

Karl Johann Philipp Spitta (1833) • Richard Massie (1860) • English

Primary Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17

Verse 1

I know no life divided, O Lord of life, from thee; In thee is life provided For all mankind and me; I know no death, O Jesus, Because I live in thee; Thy death it is that frees us From death eternally.

Verse 2

I fear no tribulation, Since, whatsoe'er it be, It makes no separation Between my Lord and me. If thou, my God and Teacher, Vouchsafe to be my own, Though poor, I shall be richer Than monarch on his throne.

Verse 3

If, while on earth I wander, My heart is right and blest, Ah, what shall I be yonder, In perfect peace and rest? Oh, blessed thought! in dying We go to meet the Lord, Where there shall be no sighing, A kingdom our reward.
