  1. 1Once 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.Christ liveth in me,(Christ liveth in me,)Christ liveth in me,(Christ liveth in me. Oh!)Oh! What a salvation this,That Christ liveth in me.
  2. 2As rays of light from yonder sun,The flow’rs of earth set free,So life and light and love came forthFrom Christ living in me.Christ liveth in me,(Christ liveth in me,)Christ liveth in me,(Christ liveth in me. Oh!)Oh! What a salvation this,That Christ liveth in me.
  3. 3As 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.Christ liveth in me,(Christ liveth in me,)Christ liveth in me,(Christ liveth in me. Oh!)Oh! What a salvation this,That Christ liveth in me.
  4. 4With longing all my heart is filled,That like Him I may be,As on the wondrous tho’t I dwellThat Christ liveth in me.Christ liveth in me,(Christ liveth in me,)Christ liveth in me,(Christ liveth in me. Oh!)Oh! What a salvation this,That Christ liveth in me.
