[With Christ what shall I do?]

With Christ what shall I do?
The Prince of life and peace
I will not crucify anew,
But yield to His release:
I will in Him believe,
By sin so long oppress'd,
Into mine arms of faith receive,
And cherish in my breast.
My Friend, my bosom Friend,
He never shall depart,
But stay and love me to the end,
And keep my faithful heart:
To Him I still will sue
For grace and purity,
And let Him reign, and let Him do
Whate'er He will with me.
