1     Not to ourselves again,

       Not to flesh we live;

    Not to world henceforth shall we

       Our strength, our being give.

 2     The time past of our lives

       Sufficeth to have wrought

    The fleshly will, which only ill

       Hath to us ever brought.

 3     No longer is our life

       A thing unused or vain;

    To us e'en here to live is Christ,

       To us to die is gain.

 4     Our life is hid with Christ,

       With Christ in God above,

    Upward our heart would go to Him,

       Whom, seeing not, we love.

 5     He liveth, and we live!

       His life for us prevails;

    His fulness fills our mighty void,

       His strength for us avails.
