Composer: | Jno. R. Sweney |
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 did for human guilt atone;
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.
