Blest Jesus while in mortal flesh
I hold my frail abode
Still would my spirit rest on Thee,
My Saviour and my God.
On Thy dear cross I fix my eyes,
My trust on Thee complete,
Till love dissolves my inmost soul
At my Redeemer’s feet.
Be dead my heart, to worldly charms,
Be dead to every sin;
And tell the boldest foe without
That Jesus reigns within.
---Alternative verses---
On Thy dear cross I fix my eyes,
Then raise them to thy seat;
Till love dissolves my inmost soul,
At my Redeemer’s feet.
