Representative Text

1 Saviour, I want thy love to know,
That I in love may be like thee;
O 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;
O live thy life in me!

2 I want thy spotless purity
For ever in my heart to be
A reflex of thy holiness;
O live thy life in me!

3 I want thy wisdom from above
That I thy perfect way may see;
To follow thee unblamable,
Live thou thy life in me.

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.

5 Then to faith’s vision thou shalt be
Ever a bright reality,
Keeping my heart in purity,
Living thy life in me.
