To me to live is Christ:
If Christ bestow His grace,
A childlike heart to me is given
That wonders after God and heaven,
And smiles up in His face
Whose love doth me embrace.
To me to live is Christ:
If Christ with me abide,
He bringeth me victorious youth,
Rejoicing in the love of truth,
Fearless of wrath and pride,
Because the Lord will guide.
To me to live is Christ:
If Christ my love awake,
The wisdom ripe of age is mine,
And hope, and joy, and peace divine
At evening twilight make
The eternal day to break.
So let me live to Christ,
And death shall but disguise
The life eternal and complete,
Where age and youth
and childhood meet,
Simple and strong and wise,
In Christ above the skies.
