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.
