My heart is fixed, eternal God,
|
|
| 1. | My heart is fixed, eternal God, |
| | Fixed on Thee, fixed on Thee; |
| | And my immortal choice is made, |
| | Christ for me, Christ for me; |
| | He is my prophet, priest, and king, |
| | Who did for me salvation bring, |
| | And while I've breath I mean to sing, |
| | Christ for me, Christ for me. |
| 2. | In Him I see the Godhead shine, |
| | Christ for me, Christ for me; |
| | He is the majesty divine, |
| | Christ for me, Christ for me; |
| | The Father's well-beloved Son, |
| | Co-partner of His royal throne, |
| | Who bore the guilt of man alone, |
| | Christ for me, Christ for me. |
| 3. | Let others boast of heaps of gold, |
| | Christ for me, Christ for me; |
| | His riches never can be told, |
| | Christ for me, Christ for me; |
| | Your gold will waste and wear away, |
| | Your honors perish in a day; |
| | My portion never can decay, |
| | Christ for me, Christ for me. |
| 4. | In pining sickness, or in health, |
| | Christ for me, Christ for me; |
| | In deepest poverty or wealth, |
| | Christ for me, Christ for me; |
| | And in that all-important day, |
| | When I the summons must obey, |
| | And pass from this dark world away, |
| | Christ for me, Christ for me. |
