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.
