JESUS, I LIVE TO THEE

"Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in His steps." 1 Peter 2:21

Words: Henry Harbaugh, 1850.
Music: "Lake Enon," Isaac Baker Woodbury, 1856.

Jesus, I live to Thee,
The loveliest and best;
My life in Thee, Thy life in me,
In Thy blessed love I rest.

Jesus I die to Thee,
Whenever death shall come;
To die in Thee is life to me
In my eternal home.

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

Living or dying, Lord,
I ask but to be Thine;
My life in Thee, Thy life in me,
Makes heaven forever mine.
