When Christ once died on Calvary,
|
|
| 1. | When Christ once died on Calvary, |
| | I too was there; |
| | 'Twas in my place He stood for me, |
| | And now accepted e'en as He, |
| | His name I bear. |
| | I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I |
| | live, |
| | Yet, not I, but Christ who liveth in me; |
| | And the life I live in the flesh, |
| | I live by the faith of the Son of God, |
| | Who loved, and gave Himself for me. |
| 2. | When Christ once rose with life divine, |
| | I too was there; |
| | His resurrection pow'r is mine, |
| | And as the branches and the vine |
| | His life I share. |
| 3. | When Christ will come some day for me, |
| | I shall be there; |
| | With Him and like Him I shall be, |
| | And all His glorious majesty |
| | I too shall share. |
| 4. | O blessed life so deep, so high, |
| | Lord, keep me there; |
| | Help me with Him, bye and bye |
| | His glory share. |
