Gracious Lord! my heart is fixed
Sing I will, and sing of Thee,
Since the cup that justice mixed
Thou hast drunk, and drunk for me:
Great Deliverer!
Thou hast set the prisoner free.

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.

Fair the scene that lies before me,
Life eternal Jesus gives;
While He waves His banner o’er me,
Sure His promise!
I shall live because He lives.

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.
