Lyrics 1. O light of my spirit and joy of my heart, Thou chief among thousands, how lovely Thou art! I think of Thy goodness where’er I may be, My rock and salvation, I live but for Thee. Refrain I live but in Thee, I live but in Thee, My rock and salvation, I live but in Thee; I live but in Thee, I live but in Thee, My rock and salvation, I live but in Thee. 2. I care not for treasures that rust and decay, I seek not for pleasures that vanish away, Enough that my Savior my portion will be, O loving Redeemer, I live but in Thee. [Refrain] 3. Thus far hast Thou led me, I’ll trust Thee for all, I know Thou wilt ever respond to my call; I feel that Thy grace is sufficient for me, O Savior of sinners, I live but in Thee. [Refrain]
