1 Once far from God and dead in sin,
Christ liveth in me,
Christ liveth in me;
Oh! what a salvation this,
That Christ liveth in me.
2 As rays of light from yonder sun,
The flow'rs of earth set free,
Christ liveth in me,
Christ liveth in me;
Oh! what a salvation this,
That Christ liveth in me.
3 As lives the flow'r within the seed,
Christ liveth in me,
Christ liveth in me;
Oh! what a salvation this,
That Christ liveth in me.
4 With longing all my heart is filled,
Christ liveth in me,
Christ liveth in me;
Oh! what a salvation this,
That Christ liveth in me.
