Explore "Fix my Heart and Eyes on Thine" by John Newton on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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 --
Oh, I tread on all beside / 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!
Thus my moments I would spend, / 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.
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:
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.
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:
Thus, whatever may betide, / I shall safe and happy be; / Still content and satisfied, / Having all in having thee.
