Sundays After Trinity: Faith 218. Jesus, I live to Thee

S.M.

[845]St. Andrew:

Joseph Barnby, 1866

Henry Harbaugh, 1850

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.
