Fix my heart and eyes on thine!

The words

1. 1

   Stanza 1. Fix my heart and eyes on thine!What are other objects worth?But to see thy glory shine,Is a heav’n begun on earth:Trifles can no longer move,O, I tread on all beside,When I feel my Saviour’s love,And remember how he died.

2. 2

   Stanza 2. 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.

3. 3

   Stanza 3. 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 dareTo rebel against thy word,Slay it, LORD; and do not spare,Let it feel thy Spirit’s sword.

4. 4

   Stanza 4. 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.
