I live and yet not I, For Christ He lives in me. The life I live in the flesh now Is Christ, just Christ, to be. |
O what a marvelous hope, Lord, To find myself in You, And in experience my boasting, To know You through and through. |

O what a wondrous existence, Of all which is most blessed. You see, Lord, I am now softened To take from You what’s best. |
It’s not my fervent resolve, Lord, Nor e’en my love untrue. It’s You in me Who is doing, What I for You couldn’t do. |

From every other attraction— Be faithful, break me free. Though smarting, Lord, from Love’s action, Each wound draws me to Thee. |
You see each end from beginning; Take me through each dark phase; As long, Lord, as love conforms me, Fits me to meet You that day. |

So here we are, dear Lord Jesus, And may Your precious hand, Accomplish all that You’ve purposed, All that You’ve for us planned. |
You are our one destination, You are our destiny. These days, just for our preparing, Will leave what in memory? |

In us, Lord, gain all You’re after, In us, Lord, gain Your Bride. In us, be so very blessed. In us, be satisfied. |
As we, Lord, become Your fullness And You in us reside, Keep us, dear Lord, in Your love-bonds, As mutually we abide. |
