Buried with Christ

Buried with Christ and raised with Him, too,
What is there left for me to do?
Simply to cease from struggling and strife,
Simply to walk in newness of life.

Refrain

Buried with Christ and dead unto sin;
Dying but living, Jesus within;
Ruling and reigning day after day,
Guiding and keeping all of the way.

Risen with Christ my glorious Head,
Holiness now the pathway I tread;
Beautiful thought from walking therein,
He that is dead is freed from all sin.

Refrain

Living with Christ, who dieth no more,
Following Christ, who goeth before;
Not under law, I’m now under grace,
Sin is dethroned, and Christ takes its place.

Refrain

The hymn is also known as 'Buried with Christ and Raised with Him Too.' It is most commonly attributed to T. Ryder (sometimes expanded as Thomas Ryder), an English hymn writer active in the late 19th century. A few sources list it as anonymous or under the pseudonym 'T. R.', but the large majority of hymnals and databases credit T. Ryder with the text.
