Interpretation notes:

• The hymn 'Living for Jesus' uses a melody that shifts up and down, with a short-long-short-short-long rhythmic pattern on words such as 'living,' 'Jesus,' and 'striving.' 

• The only true syncopation occurs in measure 13 on the word 'is,' set to a half note on the weak second beat. 

• The refrain begins with 'O Jesus, Lord and Saviour' and ends with 'O Christ, for Thee alone.' 

• The melody includes repeated notes and a series of ascending 6th leaps (C to A, D to Bb, E to C, F to D, the highest note). 

• A fermata appears on the word 'live' in the refrain.
