I: Fix my heart and eyes on thine!
What are other objects worth?
But to see thy glory shine
Is a heaven begun on earth:
Trifles can no longer move --
What are other objects worth?
But to see thy glory shine
Is a heaven begun on earth:
Trifles can no longer move --
Oh, I tread on all beside
When I feel my Saviour's love,
And remember how he died!
When I feel my Saviour's love,
And remember how he died!
II: Now my search is at an end,
Now my wishes rove no more!
Now my wishes rove no more!
Thus my moments I would spend,
Love and wonder and adore:
Love and wonder and adore:
Jesus, source of excellence!
All thy glorious love reveal;
Kingdoms shall not bribe me hence
While this happiness I feel.
Kingdoms shall not bribe me hence
While this happiness I feel.
III: Take my heart, 'tis all thine own,
To thy will my spirit frame;
Thou shalt reign, and thou alone,
Over all I have or am:
To thy will my spirit frame;
Thou shalt reign, and thou alone,
Over all I have or am:
If a foolish thought shall dare
To rebel against thy word,
Slay it, Lord, and do not spare,
Let it feel thy Spirit's sword.
To rebel against thy word,
Slay it, Lord, and do not spare,
Let it feel thy Spirit's sword.
IV: Making thus the Lord my choice,
I have nothing more to choose
But to listen to thy voice,
And my will in thine to lose:
I have nothing more to choose
But to listen to thy voice,
And my will in thine to lose:
Thus, whatever may betide,
I shall safe and happy be;
Still content and satisfied,
Having all in having thee.
I shall safe and happy be;
Still content and satisfied,
Having all in having thee.
