Prove the Christ Within You

From day to day, along your way

Author: Ida L. Reed
Tune: [From day to day]
Published in 3 hymnals

Representative Text

1 From day to day,
Along the way,
Prove the Christ within you;
In all you do,
To him be true,
Prove the Christ within you.

Chorus:
Prove the Christ within you,
Prove the Christ within you;
In thought, and word, or deed you do,
Prove the Christ within you.

2 Thro' darkened ways,
Thro' lonely days,
Prove the Christ within you;
Let love's clear light
Shine true and bright,
Prove the Christ within you. [Chorus]

3 From paths of sin,
Strive souls to win,
Prove the Christ within you;
With loving cheer
Bring heaven near,
Prove the Christ within you. [Chorus]

4 Thro' grief's dark maze,
Send hope's glad rays,
Prove the Christ within you;
Let nothing dim
Your faith in him,
Prove the Christ within you. [Chorus]
