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),

   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.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS
