This hymn has a unique tune.

 

 1 

Jesus, Thy life is mine,

Dwell evermore in me;

   And let me see

That nothing can untwine

   Thy life from mine.

 

 2 

Thy life in me be shown,

Lord, I would henceforth seek

   To think and speak

Thy thoughts, Thy words alone,

   No more my own.

 

 3 

Thy love, Thy joy, Thy peace,

Continuously impart

   Unto my heart,

Fresh springs that never cease,

   But still increase.

 

 4 

The blest reality

Of resurrection power,

   Thy Church's dower,

Life more abundantly,

   Lord, give to me.

 

 5 

Thy fullest gift, O Lord,

Now at Thy word I claim,

   Through Thy dear Name,

And touch the rapturous chord

   Of praise forth-poured.

 

 6 

Jesus, my life is Thine,

And evermore shall be

   Hidden in Thee,

For nothing can untwine

   Thy life from mine.
