Living for Jesus a life that is true,
striving to please him in all that I do,
yielding allegiance glad hearted and free
this is the pathway of blessing for me.
O Jesus, Lord and Savior,
I give myself to you,
for you in your atonement
did give yourself for me.
I own no other master
my heart shall be your throne:
my life I give, henceforth to live,
O Christ, for you alone.
Living for Jesus, who died in my place,
bearing on Calvary my sin and disgrace:
such love constrains me to answer his call,
Follow his leading, and give him my all.
O Jesus, Lord and Savior,
I give myself to you,
for you in your atonement
did give yourself for me.
I own no other master
my heart shall be your throne:
my life I give, henceforth to live,
O Christ, for you alone.
Living for Jesus wherever I am,
doing each duty in his holy name,
seeking the lost ones he died to redeem,
bringing the weary to find rest in him.
O Jesus, Lord and Savior,
I give myself to you,
for you in your atonement
did give yourself for me.
I own no other master
my heart shall be your throne:
my life I give, henceforth to live,
O Christ, for you alone.
Living for Jesus through earthโs little while,
My dearest treasure, the light of His smile;
Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem,
Bringing the weary to find rest in Him.
Dear Crissy, this is actually the first I can recall seeing this hymn which is a most precious and beautiful praising and adoration of our Lord Jesus Christ! This is the way we should serve Him alone on bent knee, as humble and contrite in our hearts as we can be! ๐ ๐
God Bless You and Yours. Thank you for sharing this and have a blessed week ahead! Amen.

That’s wonderful Crissy my sister in Christ Jesus! God Bless You and Yours. Thank you for sharing all you do and being so inspiring to others! Seeking our Savior Jesus Christ is the singularly most important thing any of us human beings can do! When you can look at my latest article, and if you get anything reassuring from it please let me know, I would love to hear any thoughts you have! ๐๐

Thanks, Crissy. I remember a dear brother in the Lord used to sing this song at our first church 30 years ago. I havenโt heard it since then until now.
