THROUGH DEATH TO LIFE
1. I am crucified
with Jesus,
And the cross hath
set me free;
I have ris'n again
with Jesus,
And He lives and
reigns in me.
Refrain
Oh! It is so sweet
to die with Jesus,
To the world, and self,
and sin;
Oh! it is so sweet
to live with Jesus
As He lives and
reigns within.
2. Myst'ry hid from
ancient ages;
But at length to
faith made plain;
Christ in me the
Hope of Glory,
Tell it o'er and
o'er again.
3. This the secret,
nature hideth,
Summer dies and
lives again,
Spring from
winter's grave ariseth,
Harvest grows from
buried grain.
4. This the secret
of the holy,
Not our holiness,
but Him;
Jesus! empty us and
fill us
With Thy fullness
to the brim.
5. This the balm
for pain and sickness,
Just to all our
strength to die,
And to find His
life and fullness,
All our beings'
need supply.
6. This the story
of the Master,
Through the Cross,
He reached the throne,
And like Him our
path to glory,
Ever leads through
death alone.
