LIFE by FREDERIC LAWRENCE KNOWLES

First Line: O LOVE TRIUMPHANT OVER GUILT AND SIN
Last Line: MY LIFE IS LIFELESS TILL IT LIVE IN THEE!
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
O love triumphant over guilt and sin,
My Soul is soiled, but thou shalt enter in;
My feet must stumble if I walk alone,
Lonely my heart, till beating by thine own,
My will is weakness till it rest in thine,
Cut off, I wither, thirsting for the Vine,
My deeds are dry leaves on a sapless tree,
My life is lifeless till it live in thee!
