LIFE OUT OF DEATH
1. Life out of
death - dear Master, is it spoken
Of the life here,
or in the better land?
Nay, wherefore
wait?
The vessel marred
and broken
Shall now be
moulded by the Potter's hand.
2. Life out of
death - oh, wondrous resurrection!
Seed sown in
conscious weakness, raised in power.
Thy life lived out
in days of toil and friction,
"Not I, but
Christ" in me - from hour to hour.
3. Life out of
death - a pilgrim path and lonely,
Trodden by those
who glory in the Cross;
They live in
fellowship with Jesus only,
And for His sake
count earthly gain but loss.
4. Life out of
death - blest mission to be ever
Bearing the living
water, brimming o'er,
With life abundant
from the clear, pure river,
Telling that
thirsty souls need thirst no more.
