Oh, Live Thy Life In Me

by H. Anderson

Saviour, I want Thy love to know,
That I in love may be like Thee;
Oh let it now my heart o'er flow,
And live Thy life in me.

I want thy spotless purity
For ever in my heart to be,
A reflex of Thy holiness;
Oh, live Thy life in me.

I want Thy wisdom from above,
That I Thy perfect way may see,
To follow Thee unblamable;
Live Thou thy life in me.

I want Thy constant presence Lord,
Then e'en a dark adversity
Will be a blessing in disguise;
Live Thou thy life in me.

Then a faith's vision Thou shalt be
Ever a brighter reality,
Keep my heart in purity,
Living Thy life in me.

Refrain

I give my heart to thee,
Thy dwelling place to be;
I want Thee ever in my heart,
Oh live Thy life in me.
