1 Jesus! I live to Thee,
The loveliest and best;
My life in Thee, Thy life in me,
In Thy blest love I rest.
The loveliest and best;
My life in Thee, Thy life in me,
In Thy blest love I rest.
2 Jesus! I die to Thee,
Whenever death shall come;
To die in Thee is life to me
In my eternal home.
Whenever death shall come;
To die in Thee is life to me
In my eternal home.
3 Whether to live or die,
I know not which is best;
To live in Thee is bliss to me,
To die is endless rest.
I know not which is best;
To live in Thee is bliss to me,
To die is endless rest.
