Sheet music
- 1Buried with Christ and raised with Him too,What is there left for me to do?Simply to cease from struggling and strife,Simply to walk in newness of life.Buried with Christ and dead unto sin;Dying but living, Jesus within;Ruling and reigning day after day,Guiding and keeping all of the way.
- 2Risen with Christ, my glorious Head,Holiness now the pathway I tread;Beautiful tho’t, while walking therein,He that is dead is freed from all sin.Buried with Christ and dead unto sin;Dying but living, Jesus within;Ruling and reigning day after day,Guiding and keeping all of the way.
- 3Living with Christ, who dieth no more,Following Christ, who goeth before;I am from bondage utterly freed,Reckoning self as dead indeed.Buried with Christ and dead unto sin;Dying but living, Jesus within;Ruling and reigning day after day,Guiding and keeping all of the way.
- 4Living for Christ, my members I yield,Servants to God for evermore sealed;Not under law, I'm now under grace,Sin is dethroned, and Christ takes its place.Buried with Christ and dead unto sin;Dying but living, Jesus within;Ruling and reigning day after day,Guiding and keeping all of the way.
