Christ for Me

Verse 1

My heart is fixed, eternal God, Fixed on thee; And my unchanging choice is made, 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.

Verse 2

Let others boast of heaps of gold, Christ for me. His riches never can be told, Christ for me. Your gold will waste and wear away, Your honours perish in a day, My portion never can decay, Christ for me.

Verse 3

In pining sickness or in health, Christ for me. In deepest poverty or wealth, 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.

Verse 4

At home, abroad, by night, by day, Christ for me. Where’er I speak, or sing, or pray, Christ for me. Him first and last, him all day long, My hope, my solace, and my song, I’ll send the ringing cry along: Christ for me.
