Jesu, Shall I Never Be
Firmly Grounded Upon Thee?
Never By Thy Work Abide,
Never In Thy Wounds Reside?
O How Wavering Is My Mind,
Tossed About With Every Wind!
O How Quickly Doth My Heart
From The Living God Depart!
Jesu, Let My Nature Feel,
Thou Art God Unchangeable:
JAH, JEHOVAH, Great I AM,
Speak Into My Soul Thy Name.
Grant That Every Moment I
May Believe, And Feel Thee Nigh;
Steadfastly Behold Thy Face,
Stablished With Abiding Grace.
Plant, And Root, And Fix In Me
All The Mind That Was In Thee;
Settled Peace I Then Shall Find;
Jesu’s Is A Quiet Mind.
Anger I No More Shall Feel,
Always Even, Always Still,
Meekly On My God Reclined;
Jesu’s Is A Gentle Mind.
I Shall Suffer And Fulfil
All My Father’s Gracious Will,
Be In All Alike Resigned;
Jesu’s Is A Patient Mind.
When ‘Tis Deeply Rooted Here,
Perfect Love Shall Cast Out Fear;
Fear Doth Servile Spirits Bind;
Jesu’s Is A Noble Mind.
When I Feel It Fixed Within,
I Shall Have No Power To Sin;
How Shall Sin An Entrance Find?
Jesu’s Is A Spotless Mind.
I Shall Nothing Know Beside
Jesus, And Him Crucified;
Perfectly To Him Be Joined;
Jesu’s Is A Loving Mind.
I Shall Triumph Evermore,
Gratefully My God Adore,
God So Good, So True, So Kind;
Jesu’s Is A Thankful Mind.
Lowly, Loving, Meek, And Pure,
I Shall To The End Endure,
Be No More To Sin Inclined;
Jesu’s Is A Constant Mind.
I Shall Fully Be Restored
To The Image Of My Lord,
Witnessing To All Mankind,
Jesu’s Is A Perfect Mind.
