446. To win my heart with visions bright and fair

1 To win my heart with visions bright and fair,
In vain the world with all its craft has tried;
Harmless and weak its dazzling weapons are,
I nothing fear with Jesus at my side.

2 Come, all ye proud ones of the earth, array
your gathering hosts around me far and wide;
My heart is calm amid the loud affray,
I nothing fear with Jesus at my side.

3 Death hath for me no fears; its bitter pains
Shall never from my King my heart divide;
Faithful to death, to Him my will remains,
I nothing fear with Jesus by my side.

4 Jesus, my Lord, my only hope and shield,
No powers of ill before Thee can abide;
I trust in Thee upon the battle-field,
I nothing fear with Thee, Lord, at my side.
