LIVE OUT THY LIFE WITHIN ME
1. Live Thy life
within me,
O Jesus King of
kings!
Be Thou Thyself the
answer
To all my
questionings.
Live out Thy life
within me,
In all things have
Thy way!
I, the transparent
medium
Thy glory to
display.
2. The temple has
been yielded
And purified of
sin;
Let Thy Shekinah
glory
Now flash forth
from within.
And all the earth
keep silence,
The body henceforth
be
Thy silent, docile
servant,
Moved only as by
Thee.
3. Its members
every moment
Held subject to Thy
call;
Ready to have Thee
use them,
Or not be used at
all.
Held without
restless longing,
Or strain or stress
or fret,
Or chafings at Thy
dealings,
Or thoughts of vain
regret.
4. But restful,
calm and pliant,
From bend and bias
free,
Permitting Thee to
settle
When Thou hast need
of me.
Live out Thy life
within me,
O Jesus, King of
kings!
Be Thou the
glorious answer
To all my
questionings.
