Representative Text

1 Live for Him who died to save you
From sin’s baleful curse and pow’r;
Live for Him who all things gave you
And who keeps you every hour.

Refrain:
Are you living for the Lord?
Are you living for the Lord?
Only life for Him is worthy—
Are you living for the Lord?

2 Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
Learn from Him the word of truth;
Find the chart to guide your goings,
Blessed guide for age and youth. [Refrain]

3 Bringing succor to the needy,
Comforting the sad, the lone,
Giving many a cup of water
To some loved one of His own. [Refrain]

4 Doing humble, daily duties,
Faithfully as unto Him,
Serving with your true heart-service
Till the day of life is dim. [Refrain]

Manly Praise and Aggresive Songs Combined, 1901 (Timeless Truths)
