1. Oh, what a life! Oh, what a peace!
  The Christ who's all within me lives.
  With Him I have been crucified;
  This glorious fact to me He gives.
  Now it's no longer I that live,
  But Christ the Lord within me lives.
  (Repeat the last two lines of each stanza)
2. Oh, what a joy! Oh, what a rest!
  Christ now is being formed in me.
  His very nature and life divine
  In my whole being inwrought shall be.
  All that I am came to an end,
  And all of Christ is all to me.
3. Oh, what a thought! Oh, what a boast!
  Christ shall in me be magnified.
  In nothing shall I be ashamed,
  For He in all shall be applied.
  In woe or blessing, death or life,
  Through me shall Christ be testified.
4. Oh, what a prize! Oh, what a gain!
  Christ is the goal toward which I press.
  Nothing I treasure, nor aught desire,
  But Christ of all��inclusiveness.
  My hope, my glory, and my crown
  Is Christ, the One of peerlessness.
  (Repeat the last two lines of each stanza)
