Hymn using same tune:

#103

 

 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-beloved Son,

    Co-partner of His royal throne,

    Who bore the guilt of man alone,

       Christ for me, Christ for me.

 

 3  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.

 

 4  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.
