"For me to live is—"? Answer, friend, what is it?
For some, 'tis fame;
For others, sin, or wealth or passing pleasure;
Where is man's heart, there is his one chief treasure.
`Tis well while there is time, to weigh and measure
Thy life's real aim;
For in the Great Assize when God shall visit,
In praise or blame,
"According to their works," what shall it say—
The answer of thy life, in that last day?
For thee, will death be loss,
Eternal shame?
Or gain— through Calvary's cross
And Jesus' name?
"For me to live is —"?
"To die is—"?
What shall the answer be?
"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
"That if thou shalt confess with
thy mouth the L or d Jesus, and
shalt believe in thine heart that
God hath raised Him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved.”
