Text: | Jesus, I live to Thee |
Author: | Henry Harbaugh |
Tune: | ST. ANDREW |
Composer: | Joseph Barnby |
Jesus, I live to Thee,
The loveliest and best;
My life in Thee, Thy life in me,
In Thy blest love I rest.
Jesus, I die to Thee,
Whenever death shall come;
To die in Thee is life to me,
In my eternal home.
Whether to live or die,
I know not which is best;
To live in Thee is bliss to me,
To die is endless rest.
Living or dying, Lord,
I ask but to be Thine;
My life in Thee, Thy life in me,
Makes heaven for ever mine.
Amen.
