The Cyber Hymnal ‎#3330

3330. Jesus, I Live to Thee

1. Jesus, I live to Thee,
The loveliest and best;
My life in Thee, Thy life in me,
In Thy blest love I rest.

2. Jesus I die to Thee,
Whenever death shall come;
To die in Thee is life to me
In my eternal home.

3. Whether to live or die,
I know not which is best;
To live in Thee is bliss to me,
To die is endless rest.

4. Living or dying, Lord,
I ask but to be Thine;
My life in Thee, Thy life in me,
Makes heaven forever mine.
