All who live in love live in God (1 John 4:16; NLT).
1. May I live, Lord,
In your strength:
Each day,
And when my race is run.
2. May I shelter
In your mind:
On earth,
And when my life is done.
3. May I hide, Lord,
In your heart:
Today,
And far beyond this test.
4. May I flourish
In your soul:
For life,
And in eternal rest.
