         1. 1. 
               1. 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.
                  • Refrain:
                    O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee,
                    For Thou, in Thy atonement, didst give Thyself for me;
                    I own no other Master, my heart shall be Thy throne;
                    My life I give, henceforth to live, O Christ, for Thee alone.
               2. Living for Jesus Who died in my place,
                  Bearing on Calv’ry my sin and disgrace;
                  Such love constrains me to answer His call,
                  Follow His leading and give Him my all.
               3. Living for Jesus, wherever I am,
                  Doing each duty in His holy Name;
                  Willing to suffer affliction and loss,
                  Deeming each trial a part of my cross.
               4. Living for Jesus through earth’s 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.
