| 1 | Oh, what a life! Oh, what a peace! |
| | The Christ who’s all within me lives. |
| | With Him I have been crucified; |
| | This glorious fact to me He gives. |
| | Now it’s no longer I that live, |
| | But Christ the Lord within me lives. |
| 2 | Oh, what a joy! Oh, what a rest! |
| | Christ now is being formed in me. |
| | His very nature and life divine |
| | In my whole being inwrought shall be. |
| | All that I am came to an end, |
| | And all of Christ is all to me. |
| 3 | Oh, what a thought! Oh, what a boast! |
| | Christ shall in me be magnified. |
| | In nothing shall I be ashamed, |
| | For He in all shall be applied. |
| | In woe or blessing, death or life, |
| | Through me shall Christ be testified. |
| 4 | Oh, what a prize! Oh, what a gain! |
| | Christ is the goal toward which I press. |
| | Nothing I treasure, nor aught desire, |
| | But Christ of all-inclusiveness. |
| | My hope, my glory, and my crown |
| | Is Christ, the One of peerlessness. |
| | (Repeat the last two lines of each stanza) |
