Jesus Keeps the Heart Right

Jesus is the sin­ner’s friend

One on whom he may de­pend

He has nev­er failed to cleanse from guilt and woe;

If we trust His ho­ly name

We shall not be put to shame

Jesus keeps the heart right

ev­ery­where we go.

Jesus keeps the heart right

The tempt­er can­not lead my soul as­tray;

Jesus keeps the heart right

Yes

the Sav­ior keeps the heart right all the day.

Thro’ the sha­dow and the strife

Thro’ the chang­ing scenes of life

With this Friend to guide me

I shall nev­er fail;

All I need when sore­ly tried

Is to keep close to His side

Jesus keeps the heart right

sin can­not pre­vail.

Some day

in the realms above

I shall see the King I love

And be­hold the man­sion build­ed there for me;

Clothed in glo­ry made com­plete

I shall sit at Je­sus’ feet

For He keeps the heart right

thro’ eter­ni­ty.
