| 1 | Gracious Lord! my heart is fixèd; | 1 Peter 2:3; Psalm 57:7; Psalm 108:1; Psalm 104:33; Matthew 26:39; Romans 11:26; Daniel 6:16 |
| Sing I will, and sing of Thee, |
| Since the cup that justice mixèd |
| Thou hast drunk, and drunk for me: |
| Great Deliverer! |
| Thou hast set the prisoner free. |
|
| 2 | Many were the chains that bound me, | Psalm 73:6; Romans 7:23-25; Psalm 57:10; Psalm 69:13; 1 Peter 1:5; Jude 1:24 |
| But the Lord has loosed them all: |
| Arms of mercy now surround me, |
| Favors these, nor few, nor small: |
| Saviour, keep me! |
| Keep Thy servant, lest he fall. |
|
| 3 | Fair the scene that lies before me, | John 10:28; Song of Solomon 2:4; John 14:27; John 15:11; 2 Corinthians 1:20; John 14:19 |
| Life eternal Jesus gives; |
| While He waves His banner o'er me, |
| Peace and joy my soul receives: |
| Sure His promise! |
| I shall live because He lives. |
|
| 4 | When the world would bid me leave Thee, | Philippians 3:7-8; Acts 5:41; Mark 3:5; Galatians 6:14; Philippians 3:7-8 |
| Telling me of shame and loss, |
| Saviour, guard me, lest I grieve Thee, |
| Lest I cease to love Thy cross: |
| This is treasure; |
| All the rest I count but dross. |
