1  Christ my very peace is

    And my life within;

    Sharing in the spirit

    I unite with Him.

 2  To the Lord belonging,

    Bound I'll never be,

    For the law of life now

    Sets me wholly free.

 3  Minding flesh no longer,

    I'll the spirit mind;

    Self-will never follow,

    But the Spirit's find.

 4  Christ within empow'rs me

    Spiritual to be!

    E'en my body quick'ning

    By His pow'r in me.

 5  Spirit with the spirit

    Witnesseth in one,

    I'm of God begotten,

    Heir with Christ the Son.
