6*. Gracious Lord! My Heart Is Fixèd

8,7.
by T. Kelly
1
Gracious Lord! my heart is fixèd;
 
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,
 
But the Lord has loosed them all:
 
Arms of mercy now surround me,
 
Favors these, nor few, nor small:
 
Savior, keep me!
 
Keep Thy servant, lest he fall.
“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.” (Jude 24)
3
Fair the scene that lies before me,
 
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.
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
“He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.” (Song of Solomon 2:4)
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27)
4
When the world would bid me leave Thee,
 
Telling me of shame and loss,
 
Savior, guard me, lest I grieve Thee,
 
Lest I cease to love Thy cross:
 
This is treasure;
 
All the rest I count but dross.
