Great Songs of the Church (Revised) ‎#355

355. Buried With Christ

1 Buried with Christ, my blessed Redeemer,
Dead to the old life of folly and sin;
Satan may call, the world may entreat me,
There is no voice that answers within.

Refrain:
Dead to the world, to voices that call me,
Living anew, obedient but free;
Dead to the joys that once did enthrall me--
Yet 'tis not I, Christ liveth within.

2 Dead unto sin, alive through the Spirit,
Risen with Him from the gloom of the grave,
All things are new, and I am rejoicing
In His great love, His power to save. [Refrain]

3 Sin hath no more its cruel dominion,
Walking "in newness of life," I am free--
Glorious life of Christ, my Redeemer,
Which He so richly shareth with me. [Refrain]
