My Heart Is Fixed on Jesus

My heart is fixed on Je­sus

The sun of all my thought;

What won­drous work of grace His love

Within my soul hath wrought!

He found me poor and help­less

By ev­ery sin op­pressed

And died that I might be re­deemed

And have eter­nal rest.

My heart is fixed on Je­sus

No oth­er hope have I;

I could not live with­out Him

And with­out Him dare not die.

My heart is fixed on Je­sus

Without Him life is vain;

His pro­mise is thro’ all my days

To com­fort and sus­tain;

I love to hear Him whis­per—

Be not afraid—’tis I!

As o’er the sto­rmy sea I sail

Beneath a cloud­ed sky.

My heart is fixed on Je­sus

Since I to Him be­long

For ev­ery day He gives me hope

For ev­ery night a song;

Thro’ tri­al and deep wa­ter

His pro­mis­es are sweet;

And shel­tered ’neath His wings of love

I find a safe re­treat.
