316- Live Out Thy Life Within Me
Gospel: Consecration
1
- Live out Thy life within me,
- O Jesus, King of kings!
- Be Thou Thyself the answer
- To all my questionings;
- Live out Thy life within me,
- In all things have Thy way!
- I, the transparent medium
- Thy glory to display.
2
- The temple has been yielded,
- And purified of sin;
- Let Thy Shekinah glory
- Now shine forth from within,
- And all the earth keep silence,
- The body henceforth be
- Thy silent, gentle servant,
- Moved only as by Thee.
3
- Its members every moment
- Held subject to Thy call,
- Ready to have Thee use them,
- Or not be used at all;
- Held without restless longing,
- Or strain, or stress, or fret,
- Or chafings at Thy dealings,
- Or thoughts of vain regret.
4
- But restful, calm, and pliant,
- From bend and bias free,
- Awaiting Thy decision,
- When Thou hast need of me.
- Live out Thy life within me,
- O Jesus, King of kings!
- Be Thou the glorious answer
- To all my questionings.
