A life of living Christ as life,

A life of living face to face.

A priceless treasure and our life;
We turn, behold, reflect, and see,
E’en as He is, we all shall be.

A life no longer I, but Christ,

By Spirit: holy, pure, and chaste.

Is found in our Lord Jesus Christ;
And by His cutting on the Tree
A place was made for you and me.

Joined to the resurrected Christ,

Is Christ in all to be applied;
’Tis not exchanged but mingled in,
The richest life with mine does blend.
