Once far from God and dead in sin,
No light my heart could see;
But in God's Word the light I found,
Now Christ liveth in me.
No light my heart could see;
But in God's Word the light I found,
Now Christ liveth in me.
Christ liveth in me,
Christ liveth in me;
Oh! what a salvation this,
That Christ liveth in me.
Christ liveth in me;
Oh! what a salvation this,
That Christ liveth in me.

As rays of light from yonder sun,
The flow'rs of earth set free,
So life and light and love come forth
From Christ living in me.
The flow'rs of earth set free,
So life and light and love come forth
From Christ living in me.

As lives the flow'r within the seed,
As in the cone the tree,
So, praise the Christ of truth and grace,
His Spirit dwelleth in me.
As in the cone the tree,
So, praise the Christ of truth and grace,
His Spirit dwelleth in me.

With longing all my heart is filled,
That like Him I may be,
As on the wondrous thought I dwell
That Christ liveth in me.
That like Him I may be,
As on the wondrous thought I dwell
That Christ liveth in me.

"0h! What a salvation this, that Christ liveth in me!" "Lord Jesus, forgive me for not living You adequately. I repent that in my daily living I waste so much of my time living in my fallen, natural, serpentine state! Rescue me more, daily, by the enjoyment of Your very self, to live You. Live with You. This is what we hunger for, Lord, this living in oneness with You."

Daniel Webster Whittle was born on November 22, 1840 in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts and died March 4th, 1901 in Northfield, MA.
He was a gospel song lyricist, evangelist and Bible teacher. Whittle is associated with the evangelistic campaigns of D. L. Moody.
He married Abbie Hanson in 1861. The night before he was deployed with company B of the 72nd Illinois Infantry during the Civil War. He was wounded at Vicksburg and marched with General Sherman’s forces through Georgia. Whittle was promoted with the rank of major at the end of the war and still is know among hymnologists as Major Whittle.
Settling down in Chicago to work for the Elgin Clock Company, he became closely associated with Moody who encouraged him to go into evangelistic work.
One of Whittle’s war experiences served as a basis for the gospel song “Hold the Fort” by Phillip Paul Bliss of whom Whittle edited a biography. Of his nearly 200 hymns, “I Know Whom I Have Believed in” is among his most popular which is under his pseudo name EL NATHAN.
