1 On Christ, by faith, my soul would live;
From Him my life, my all receive;
To Him devote my fleeting hours;
Serve Him alone with all my powers.

2 Christ is my everlasting all;
To Him I look, on Him I call;
He will my every want supply,
In time, and through eternity.

3 Soon will the Lord, my Life, appear;
Soon shall I end my trials here;
Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain;
To live is Christ, to die is gain.

4 Soon will the saints in glory meet,
Soon walk through every golden street,
And sing on every blissful plain,
To live is Christ, to die is gain.

Amen.
