Christ, the Life of All the Living Lyrics

Christ, the life of all the living

Christ, the death of death, our foe

Christ, yourself for me once giving

To the darkest depths of woe

Through your suff'ring, death, and merit

Life eternal I inherit

Thousand, thousand thanks are due

Dearest Jesus, unto you

You have suffered great affliction

And have borne it patiently

Even death by crucifixion

Fully to atone for me

For you chose to be tormented

That my doom should be prevented

Thousand, thousand thanks are due

Dearest Jesus, unto you

Then, for all that bought our pardon

For the sorrows deep and sore

For the anguish in the garden

I will thank you evermore

Thank you for the groaning, sighing

For the bleeding and the dying

For that last triumphant cry

Praise you evermore on high
