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-belovèd Son,
Co-partner of His royal throne,
Who did for human guilt atone,
Christ for me! Christ for me!
3 Today as yesterday the same,
Christ for me, Christ for me;
How precious is His balmy name,
Christ for me, Christ for me;
Christ, a mere man, may answer you,
Who error’s winding path pursue;
But I with part can never do,
Christ for me! Christ for me!
4 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!
5 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!
