1 | Live Thyself, Lord Jesus, through me, |
| | For my very life art Thou; |
| Thee I take to all my problems |
| | As the full solution now. |
| Live Thyself, Lord Jesus, through me, |
| | In all things Thy will be done; |
| I but a transparent vessel |
| | To make visible the Son. |
2 | Consecrated is Thy temple, |
| | Purged from every stain and sin; |
| May Thy flame of glory now be |
| | Manifested from within. |
| Let the earth in solemn wonder |
| | See my body willingly |
| Offered as Thy slave obedient, |
| | Energized alone by Thee. |
3 | Every moment, every member, |
| | Girded, waiting Thy command; |
| Underneath the yoke to labor |
| | Or be laid aside as planned. |
| When restricted in pursuing, |
| | No disquiet will beset; |
| Underneath Thy faithful dealing |
| | Not a murmur or regret. |
4 | Ever tender, quiet, restful, |
| | Inclinations put away, |
| That Thou may for me choose freely |
| | As Thy finger points the way. |
| Live Thyself, Lord Jesus, through me, |
| | For my very life art Thou; |
| Thee I take to all my problems |
| | As the full solution now. |
