Not To Ourselves Again

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15866 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Not to ourselves again, Not to the flesh we live; Not to the world henceforth shall we Our strength, our being give. 2 The past time past of our lives Sufficeth to have wrought The fleshly will, which only ill Has to us ever brought. 3 No longer is our life A thing unused or vain; To us, now here, to live is Christ, To us to die is gain. 4 Our life is hid with Christ, With Christ in God above; Upward our heart would go to Him, Whom, seeing not, we love. 5 When He who is our life Appears, to take the throne, We too shall be revealed and shine In glory like His own. 6 He liveth, and we live! His life for us prevails; His fullness fills our mighty void, His strength for us avails. 7 Life worketh in us now, Life is for us in store; So death is swallowed up of life; We live for evermore. 8 Shine as the sun shall we In that bright kingdom then, Our sky without a cloud or mist, Ourselves without a stain. 9 Like Him we then shall be. Transformed and glorified; For we shall see Him as He is And in His light abide. 10 Not to ourselves we live, Not to ourselves we die; Unto the Lord we die or live, With Him are we on high. 11 We seek the things above, For we are only His; Like Him we soon shall be, for we Shall see Him as He is.
