If I'd know Christ's risen power,

| 1. | If I'd know Christ's risen power, |
| | I must ever love the Cross; |
| | Life from death alone arise; |
| | There's no gain except by loss. |
| | If no death, no life, |
| | If no death, no life; |
| | Life from death alone arises; |
| | If no death, no life. |
| 2. | If I'd know Christ formed in me, |
| | I must breathe my final breath, |
| | Live within the Cross's shadow, |
| | Put my soul-life e'er to death. |
| 3. | If God thru th' Eternal Spirit |
| | Nail me ever with the Lord; |
| | Only then as death is working |
| | Will His life thru me be poured. |
