I live for those who love me

Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I live for those who love me, For those I know are true For Heaven that smiles above me, And awaits my spirit too; For human ties that bind me, For the task that God assigned me, For the bright hopes left behind me, And the good that I can do, For the bright hopes left behind me, And the good that I can do. 2 I live to hail the season, By gifted minds foretold, When men shall live by reason, And not alone for gold; When man to man united, And every wrong thing righted, The whole world shall be lighted As Eden was of old, The whole world shall be lighted As Eden was of old. 3 I live to hold communion With all that is divine, To find there is a union, 'Twixt Nature's heart and mine; To profit by affliction, Reap truths from fields of fiction, Grow wiser from conviction, And fulfil each grand design, Grow wiser from conviction, And fulfil each grand design. 4 I live for those who love me, For those who know me true; For Heaven that smiles above me, And awaits my spirit too; For wrong that needs resistance, For the cause that lacks assistance, For the dawning in the distance, And the good that I can do, For the dawning, in the distance, And the good that I can do. Used With Tune: [I live for those who love me]
