Jesus, I live to Thee

E504 T504
1
Jesus, I live to Thee,
The Loveliest and Best;
My life in Thee, Thy life in me,
  In Thy blest love I rest.
2
Jesus, I die to Thee,
Whenever death shall come;
To die in Thee is life to me,
  With Thee I'm ever one!
3
Whether to live or die,
I know not which is best;
To live in Thee is bliss to me,
  To die is endless rest.
4
Living or dying, Lord,
I ask but to be Thine;
My life in Thee, Thy life in me,
  Makes Thee forever mine.

In the recent passing of my brother I found this hymn very comforting. Every verse is sweet;

My life in Thee, Thy life in me,

In Thy blest love I rest.

How good it is to muse over hymns Godly people have written from their experiences of Him.

Enjoyed this song very much today.... We life and die in Him, the issue of His life is to live with Him eternally, being one with Him. Romans 14:8: For whether we live, we live to the Lord, and whether we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore whether we live or we die, we are the Lord's. Hallelujah!
