Christ Liveth In Me

by Daniel Webster Whittle

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.

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.

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.

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

Christ liveth in me,
Christ liveth in me;
O what a salvation this
That Christ liveth in me.
