1. Sing praise to Christ Who lives in us, The God of our salvation; Who saves us by His life divine, And not by regulation; After we've worked—done all we can, His life has power to change a man: His life divine can change us. 2. He saves us to the uttermost By His life—giving power; Transfusing Himself into us, He saves us hour by hour. He saved the lost by coming in, He's saving now from more than sin: He's saving us to glory! 3. Our Lord was constituted priest To be a real life—giver; Life is the nature of this One Who can from self deliver: His life is indestructible, By it He saves us to the full: Praise God, He's fully able! 4. His life is fully qualified To bring us through to glory; Were it not for His tested life, 'Twould be another story: His life was fully tried on earth, To crucifixion from His birth: He passed through death and Hades. 5. He's pledged to save us to the full, His life is operating; He's doing everything for us 'Tis all for our perfecting; Our life's a failure at its best, Only His life can stand the test: His life brings full salvation! 6. He's living now to intercede, Continuing forever; He undertakes into the age, His priesthood changes never; He always lives to intercede, Such a High Priest is what we need: He's higher than the heavens. 7. Come forward now to God through Him, Ne'er shrink back to destruction; Come forward now to get the life, Which brings the proper function; Come forward now the life to take, By life His people us He'll make, And swallow death forever.
