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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.
