The New Century Hymnal ‎#457

457. Jesus, I Live to You

1 Jesus, I live to you,
the loveliest and best;
My life will be your life in me,
in your blessed love I rest.

2 Jesus, I die to you,
whenever death shall come;
Unceasingly, you'll live in me
in my eternal home.

3 Whether to live or die,
I know not which is best;
To live will be your bliss in me,
to die is endless rest.

4 Living or dying, Lord,
I ask to be your own;
My life will be your life in me,
and heaven of earth be known.
