Live Thyself, Lord Jesus, through me,
For my very life art Thou;
Thee I take to all my problems
As the full solution now.
Live Thyself, Lord Jesus, through me,
In all things Thy will be done;
I but a transparent vessel
To make visible the Son.
For my very life art Thou;
Thee I take to all my problems

Consecrated is Thy temple,
Purged from every stain and sin;
May Thy flame of glory now be
Manifested from within.
Let the earth in solemn wonder
See my body willingly
Offered as Thy slave obedient,
Energized alone by Thee.

Every moment, every member,
Girded, waiting Thy command;
Underneath the yoke to labor
Or be laid aside as planned.
When restricted in pursuing,
No disquiet will beset;
Underneath Thy faithful dealing
Not a murmur or regret.

Ever tender, quiet, restful,
Inclinations put away,
That Thou may for me choose freely
As Thy finger points the way.

Jesus died on the cruel cross in the likeness of a serpent for this very purpose; That the serpentine nature in us may be dealt with, and the God Man Jesus may be lived out from those who believe, receive, and experience this mystery...

Laid Aside. Why? ” Spurgeon answered his own question by concluding that such times are “the surest way to teach us that we are not necessary to God’s work, and that when we are most useful He can easily do without us. ”

I love this hymn SO MUCH! These words express wonderfully what I desperately long for.
Years ago one of our elders called for the singing of this hymn, and he suggested we sing it to the tune of "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" (hymn #319) -- and I was so touched and released that ever since, I've always sung it to myself using that variation.

Thank You Lord for this beautiful song. I love singing it with You and to You. The first few lines convey the feeling in my mingled Sspirit. Live thyself Lord Jesus through me for my very life art thou, Oh Lord gain this living in me today and everyday to be built up with every member of Your Body locally and Universally.

This hymn is so prophetic. How could our dear brother have known that this hymn was expressing exactly what the future held for him as he was to be imprisoned by the Lord in a Communist prison for twenty years. Thank You Lord for such a vessel!
