Light and Life Songs ‎#24

24. Christ Within

1 Christ within, the hope of glory,
Living, reigning in my soul,
Since my life is fully yielded,
Since my life is fully yielded,
Unto His divine control.

Chorus:
Christ within! who can conceive it?
Christ within! I dare believe it;
Where shall I His praise begin?
I have Christ enthroned within.

2 Now His blessed presence fills me!
‘Tis no longer I, but He;
Blessed Fountain-head whence springeth,
Blessed Fountain-head whence springeth,
Streams of love and purity. [Chorus]

3 Human lips could ne’er be telling,
half the charms of love divine,
All my doubts and fears dispelling,
All my doubts and fears dispelling,
Since this heav’nly Guest is mine. [Chorus]

4 Christ within! oh, hear it brother,
And the door throw open wide;
If you’ll bid the Savior welcome,
If you’ll bid the Savior welcome,
He will in your heart abide. [Chorus]
