Christ is Himself the vital thing.
  We must, we must have Him!
My God, deny me anything,
  But give, oh give me Him!

Christ in you, is what free grace brings,
God's giving Gift of gifts!
With Christ He gives us everything.
With hope our souls He lifts.

Christ in you, is the hope bestowed,
  The hope of glory, He.
    He paid all that to God I owed,
      And gives glory to me!


"It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus,
 who has become for us wisdom from God--that is,
 our righteousness, holiness and redemption."
     1 Corinthians 1:30
