8.8.8.8

James Montgomery

The Image of Christ.

To me to live, let it be Christ,

To me to die will then be gain,

If here into his death baptized,

His resurrection I attain.

As He was in the world, let me,

Born from above, my course fulfil;

My meat, my drink, my business be

To do my heavenly Father's will.

So, when He comes, with glory crown'd,

To claim His own, and seal them His,

I in his likeness shall be found,

For I shall see Him as He is.
