1  Jesus, I live to Thee,

    The Loveliest and Best;

    My life in Thee, Thy life in me,

       In Thy blest love I rest.

 2  Jesus, I die to Thee,

    Whenever death shall come;

    To die in Thee is life to me,

       With Thee I'm ever one!

 3  Whether to live or die,

    I know not which is best;

    To live in Thee is bliss to me,

       To die is endless rest.

 4  Living or dying, Lord,

    I ask but to be Thine;

    My life in Thee, Thy life in me,

       Makes Thee forever mine.
