Live out Thy life with­in me,
O Je­sus, King of kings!
Be Thou Thy­self the an­swer
To all my quest­ion­ings;
Live out Thy life with­in me,
In all things have Thy way!
I, the trans­par­ent me­di­um,
Thy glo­ry to dis­play.

The tem­ple has been yield­ed,
And pu­ri­fied of sin,
Let Thy She­ki­nah glo­ry
Now shine forth from with­in,
And all the earth keep si­lence,
The body hence­forth be
Thy si­lent, gen­tle ser­vant,
Moved on­ly as by Thee.

Its mem­bers ev­ery mo­ment
Held sub­ject to Thy call,
Ready to have Thee use them,
Or not be used at all,
Held with­out rest­less long­ing,
Or strain, or stress, or fret,
Or chafings at Thy deal­ings,
Or thoughts of vain re­gret.

But rest­ful, calm and pli­ant,
From bend and bi­as free,
Awaiting Thy de­ci­sion,
When Thou hast need of me.
Live out Thy life with­in me,
O Je­sus, King of kings!
Be Thou the glo­ri­ous an­swer
To all my quest­ion­ings.
