14663. How Can I Live For Jesus?

1 How can I live for Jesus?
How can I work for Jesus?
How can I spread the story,
And win a crown of glory?

Refrain:
Help me, O Lord, to watch and pray,
And live for Jesus every day.

2 By faith I now behold Thee,
Oh! let Thy love enfold me,
Till passing Heaven’s portal
I join the band immortal. [Refrain]

3 I see the blood drops streaming,
Shed for the world’s redeeming;
Let every tribe and nation
Bow down in adoration. [Refrain]

4 Help me to spread the story,
This be my only glory;
For Christ’s salvation sighing,
His love shall cheer me dying. [Refrain]
