English text

1 I know no life divided,
O Lord of life, from thee;
In thee is life provided
For all mankind and me;
I know no death, O Jesus,
Because I live in thee;
Thy death it is that frees us
From death eternally.

2 I fear no tribulation,
Since, whatsoe'er it be,
It makes no separation
Between my Lord and me.
If thou, my God and Teacher,
Vouchsafe to be my own,
Though poor, I shall be richer
Than monarch on his throne.

3 Lord! with this truth impress me,
And write it on my heart,
To comfort, cheer, and bless me,
That thou my Saviour art;
Without thy love to guide me,
I should be wholly lost;
The floods would quickly hide me,
On life's wide ocean toss'd.
