THE LIFE I'D LIVE.

The life I'd live would be of faith Upon the Son of God, Would see a "Thus the Lord hath said," To guide me on the road.
The life I'd live would be to count All earthly gain but loss, Would every day deny myself, And daily take my cross.
The life I'd live would be to mark The footsteps Jesus trod, To walk with care the narrow road, That leads the soul to God.
The life I'd live would be to seek More earnestly his face, Would grow in knowledge of my Lord, And daily grow in grace.
The life I'd live would be to live An humble, lowly life, Far from the world's gay revelry, And farther from its strife.
The life I'd live would be the life That's hidden in the Lord, Dead to myself and dead to sin, But living through his word.
