Hymn 636
Once far from God and dead in sin
- 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.
Christly Living
