Words by Daniel W. Whittle (1840-1901), 1891.Tune: CHRIST LIVETH by James McGranahan (1840-1907)Key signature: G major (1 sharp)Time signature: 6/4Meter: 8.6.8.6. with refrainPublic DomainChrist liveth in me, Christ liveth in me, Oh! what a salvation this, That Christ liveth in me.1. 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.2. As rays of light from yonder sun The flow’rs of earth set free, So life and light and love came forth From Christ living in me.3. As lives the flow’r within the seed, As in the cone the tree, So, praise the God of truth and grace, His Spirit dwelleth in me.
