MY HEART IS FIXED, ETERNAL GOD!

My heart is fixed, Eternal God, Fixed on Thee;

And my immortal choice is made, Christ for me.

He is my Prophet, Priest and King,

Who did for me salvation bring;

And while I live I mean to sing, Christ for me.

In Him I see the Godhead shine,

He is the Majesty Divine,

The Father’s well-beloved Son,

Co-partner of His royal throne,

Who did for human guilt atone

Let others boast of heaps of gold;

His riches never can be told;

Your gold will waste and wear away,

Your honors perish in a day;

My portion never can decay.

In pining sickness or in health,

In deepest poverty or wealth,

And in that all-important day,

When I the summons shall obey

And pass from this dark world away.

At home, abroad, by night and day,

Where’er I preach, or sing, or pray;

Him first, Him last, Him all day long,

My hope, my solace, and my song;

He sweetly leads my soul along.
