1. Not to ourselves again,
  Not to flesh we live;
  Not to world henceforth shall we
  Our strength, our being give.
2. The time past of our lives
  Sufficeth to have wrought
  The fleshly will, which only ill
  Hath to us ever brought.
3. No longer is our life
  A thing unused or vain;
  To us e'en here to live is Christ,
  To us to die is gain.
4. Our life is hid with Christ,
  With Christ is God above,
  Upward our heart would go to Him,
  Whom, seeing not, we love.
5. He liveth, and we live!
  His life for us prevails;
  His fulness fills our mighty void,
  His strength for us avails.
  There to behold Him on His throne,
  Hear from His lips, "My child,
  well done!"
