Hymns of Consecration and Faith ‎#456

456. Oh, live Thy life in me

1 Saviour, I want Thy love to know,
That I in love may be like Thee;
Oh let it now my heart o’erflow,
And live Thy life in me.

Refrain:
I give my heart to Thee,
Thy dwelling place to be;
I want Thee ever in my heart;
Oh, live Thy life in me.

2 I want thy spotless purity
For ever in my heart to be
A reflex of Thy holiness;
Oh, live Thy life in me. [Refrain]

3 I want Thy wisdom from above
That I Thy perfect way may see;
To follow Thee unblamable;
Live Thou Thy life in me. [Refrain]

4 I want Thy constant presence, Lord,
Then e’en a dark adversity
Will be a blessing in disguise;
Live Thou Thy life in me. [Refrain]

5 Then to faith’s vision Thou shalt be
Ever a bright reality,
Keeping my heart in purity,
Living Thy life in me. [Refrain]
