lyrics for "for me to live is Christ to die is gain, to hold his hand and walk the narrow way, there

Post by cjs » Sat Mar 28, 2009 1:03 pm

I would like to find the rest of the words to a hymn
"For me to live is Christ to die is gain
To hold his hand and walk the narrow way
There is no peace no joy no thrill than walking in his will
For me to live is Christ to die is gain"

are there any other verses to this hymn?

Taken from Youth Praise 2 No 267 (I was brought up on Youth Praise 1!)
More importantly based on Philippians 1 v 21:

Chorus:
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
to hold His hand and walk His narrow way
there is no peace, no joy, no thrill, Like walking in His will
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain

Now once my heart was full of sin and shame
Till someone told me Jesus came to save
When He said "Come home to me"
He set my poor heart free
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain

Now there are things that I still do not know
But of this one thing I'm completely sure
He who called me on that day
Washed all my sin away
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain

If you go to
http://www.smallchurchmusic.com/SongListF.php?RMenu=Fo

Scroll down and you will see the song downloadable in Mp3. You will have to pay a small charge (as it is copyright) but most of the hymns on the site in mp3 are free (& there are 1000s).

I was interested in your enquiry about the song, 'For me to live is Christ, to die is gain'. I am the author and composer of the song and I was happy that people were singing it to the glory of God. I have no idea who holds the copyright as I wanted it to be freely used, and I find it very strange that someone else should claim the copyright without informing me. I would be willing to send you a casette recording of the Glorylanders singing it.

Keith I am very interested to read what you have said there.
The only book in which I can find this song is Youth Praise Book 2. I'm not sure of the publication date, but my copy has coffee stains which date from about 1973! The copyright there is assigned to J White and dated 1969.
Are you one and the same White?
This is a beautiful tune and fine words, especially the chorus. I hope I do not cause offence if I say I have never found the verses to be as striking as the chorus, nor exactly true to the context of Philippians. In fact I confess to writing alternative verses if anyone is interested.

Very pleased to have found these words again. They do, in my view, express both the joy that Paul finds in the Christians at Philippi and the reason why nothing can diminish that joy. I first heard the words sung at an excellent concert by the Glorylanders in Hull (probably City Hall) just a few years ago...
Great to see Keith's comments

May God be truly and literally 'all' in our lives ~ in life & in death.
