Christ My Song - 531
Dead unto sin through him who died - Dead and alive
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Dead and alive.
1. Dead unto sin through him who died,
who rose, and has gone up on high;
through him I live to righteousness,
through him to God I am brought nigh.
O Holy Spirit, shed abroad
in me the love and peace of God. (PDF - Midi)
2. Dead unto self through him who died,
and dying broke the chains of sin,
I rise to run the glorious race,
and the eternal prize to win.
O Holy Spirit, shed abroad
in me the love and peace of God.
3. Dead to the law through him who died,
in whom the law fulfilled I see;
through whom I in that law delight,
its righteousness fulfilled in me.
O Holy Spirit, shed abroad
in me the love and peace of God.
4. Dead to the world through him who died,
nailed with my Lord to yonder tree;
now am I crucified to it,
and it is crucified to me.
O Holy Spirit, shed abroad
in me the love and peace of God.
5. Dead to the flesh through him who died,
our trust in it has passed away;
we worship in the Spirit now,
free to rejoice and to obey.
O Holy Spirit, shed abroad
in me the love and peace of God.
