My heart is trusting Thee, my God,
Trusting Thee, trusting Thee,
And my immortal choice is made:
Christ for me! Christ for me!
He is my Prophet, Priest and King,
Who did for me salvation bring;
And And while I've breath my lips shall sing:
Christ for me! Christ for me!
In Him I see the Godhead shine;
Christ for me! Christ for me!
He is the majesty divine;
Christ for me! Christ for me!
The Father's well beloved Son,
Co-partner of His royal throne,
Who did for human guilt atone;
Christ for me! Christ for me!
In pining sickness or in health,
Christ for me! Christ for me!
In deepest poverty or wealth,
Christ for me! Christ for me!
And in that all-important day
When I the summons must obey
And pass from this dark world away,
Christ for me! Christ for me!
Let others boast of heaps of gold—
Christ for me! Christ for me!
His riches never can be told,
Christ for me! Christ for me!
Your gold will waste and wear away;
Your honors perish in a day,
My portion never can decay:
Christ for me! Christ for me!
At home, abroad, by night and day,
Christ for me! Christ for me!
Where'er I preach or sing or pray,
Christ for me! Christ for me!
Him first and last, Him all day long,
My hope, my solace, and my song.
I'll send the ringing cry along,
Christ for me! Christ for me!
