"Original Sacred Harp" (Denson Revision) 1960 Edition ‎#39b

39b. Blest Jesus, while in mortal flesh

1 Blest Jesus while in mortal flesh I hold my frail abode Still would my spirit rest on Thee, My Savior and my God. 2 On Thy dear cross I fix my eyes, My trust on Thee complete, Till love dissolves my inmost soul At my Redeemer’s feet. 3 Be dead my heart, to worldly charms, Be dead to ev’ry sin; And tell the boldest foe without That Jesus reigns within.
