When sins and fears prevailing rise

And fainting hope almost expires

Jesus to Thee I lift my eyes

To Thee I breathe my soul's desires

Are you not mine, my living Lord

And can my hope, my comfort die

Fixed on the everlasting word

That word which built the earth and sky



Jesus, I lift my eyes

To Thee I breathe my soul's desires

Jesus, I lift my eyes

To Thee I lift my eyes



Here let my faith unshaken dwell

Immovable the promise stands

Not all the powers of earth or hell

Can e're dissolve the sacred bands



Jesus, I lift my eyes

To Thee I breathe my soul's desires

Jesus, I lift my eyes

To Thee I lift my eyes



Here oh my soul

Thy trust repose

If Jesus is forever mine

Not death itself that last of foes

Can break a union so divine



Jesus, I lift my eyes

To Thee I breathe my soul's desires

Jesus, I lift my eyes

To Thee I breathe my soul's desires
