 1 

Life out of death — dear Master, is it spoken

Of the life here, or in the better land?

Nay, wherefore wait? The vessel marred and broken,

Shall now be molded by the Potter's hand.

 
 2 

Life out of death — oh, wondrous resurrection!

Seed sown in conscious weakness, raised in power;

Thy life lived out in days of toil and friction,

"Not I, but Christ" in me from hour to hour.

 
 3 

Life out of death — a pilgrim path and lonely,

Trodden by those who glory in the Cross.

They live in fellowship with "Jesus only,"

And for His sake count earthly gain but loss.

 
 4 

Life out of death — blest mission to be ever

Bearing the living water brimming o'er.

With life abundant from the clear, pure river,

Telling that thirsty souls need thirst no more.
