1  Sing praise to Christ Who lives in us,

    The God of our salvation;

    Who saves us by His life divine,

    And not by regulation;

    After we've worked — done all we can,

    His life has power to change a man:

    His life divine can change us.

 2  He saves us to the uttermost

    By His life-giving power;

    Transfusing Himself into us,

    He saves us hour by hour.

    He saved the lost by coming in,

    He's saving now from more than sin:

    He's saving us to glory!

 3  Our Lord was constituted priest

    To be a real life-giver;

    Life is the nature of this One

    Who can from self deliver:

    His life is indestructible,

    By it He saves us to the full:

    Praise God, He's fully able!

 4  His life is fully qualified

    To bring us through to glory;

    Were it not for His tested life,

    'Twould be another story:

    His life was fully tried on earth,

    To crucifixion from His birth:

    He passed through death and Hades.

 5  He's pledged to save us to the full,

    His life is operating;

    He's doing everything for us

    'Tis all for our perfecting;

    Our life's a failure at its best,

    Only His life can stand the test:

    His life brings full salvation!

 6  He's living now to intercede,

    Continuing forever;

    He undertakes into the age,

    His priesthood changes never;

    He always lives to intercede,

    Such a High Priest is what we need:

    He's higher than the heavens.

 7  Come forward now to God through Him,

    Ne'er shrink back to destruction;

    Come forward now to get the life,

    Which brings the proper function;

    Come forward now the life to take,

    By life His people us He'll make,

    And swallow death forever.
