O light of my spi­rit and joy of my heart,
Thou chief among thou­sands, how love­ly Thou art!
I think of Thy good­ness wher­e’er I may be,
My rock and sal­va­tion, I live but for Thee.

Refrain

I live but in Thee, I live but in Thee,
My rock and sal­va­tion, I live but in Thee;
I live but in Thee, I live but in Thee,
My rock and sal­va­tion, I live but in Thee.

I care not for trea­sures that rust and de­cay,
I seek not for plea­sures that van­ish away,
Enough that my Sav­ior my por­tion will be,
O loving Re­deem­er, I live but in Thee.

Refrain

Thus far hast Thou led me, I’ll trust Thee for all,
I know Thou wilt ev­er re­spond to my call;
I feel that Thy grace is suf­fi­cient for me,
O Sav­ior of sin­ners, I live but in Thee.
