#441

 
 1 

If I'd know Christ's risen power,

I must ever love the Cross;

Life from death alone arise;

There's no gain except by loss.

 

If no death, no life,

If no death, no life;

Life from death alone arises;

If no death, no life.

 
 2 

If I'd have Christ formed in me,

I must breathe my final breath,

Live within the Cross's shadow,

Put my soul-life e'er to death.

 

If no death, no life,

If no death, no life;

Life from death alone arises;

If no death, no life.

 
 3 

If God thru th' Eternal Spirit

Nail me ever with the Lord;

Only then as death is working

Will His life thru me be poured.

 

If no death, no life,

If no death, no life;

Life from death alone arises;

If no death, no life.
