In The Book Of Life

by Lizzie Edwards

In thy book, where glory bright
Shines with never fading light,
Where thy saved thou wilt record,
Write my name, my name O Lord.

In thy book, whose pages tell
Who have tried to serve thee well,
O'er my name let mercy trace
Child of God, redeemed by Grace.

In the book, where thou dost keep
Record still of years that sleep,
Let my name be written down
Heir to life's immortal crown.

O my Saviour, thou canst show
What I long so much to know:
Let my faith behold and see
That my life is hid with thee.

Chorus

Write my name in the book of life,
Lamb of God, write it there;
Where thy saved thou wilt record
Write my name, my name O Lord.
