Living For Jesus

Eden Symphony Orchestra

Thomas O. Chisholm, 1917

1 .Living for Jesus, a life that is true,
Striving to please Him in all that I do;
Yielding allegiance, glad-hearted and free,
This is the pathway of blessing for me.

•  Living for Jesus, who died in my place,
  bearing on Calvary my sin and disgrace:
  such love constrains me to answer his call,
  follow his leading, and give him my all. [Refrain]

2. Living for Jesus, wherever I am,
Doing each duty in His holy Name;
Willing to suffer affliction and loss,
Deeming each trial a part of my cross.

3. Living for Jesus through earth’s little while,
My dearest treasure, the light of His smile;
Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem,
Bringing the weary to find rest in Him.

Refrain:

O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee, For Thou, in Thy atonement, didst give Thyself for me;
I own no other Master, my heart shall be Thy throne;
My life I give, henceforth to live, O Christ, for Thee alone. Living for Jesus, who died in my place.
