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
To thee I breathe my soul's desires

Art thou not mine, my living Lord?
And can my hope, my comfort die
Fix'd on thy everlasting word
That word which built the earth and sky?
That word which built the earth and sky?

If my immortal Saviour lives
Then my immortal life is sure
His word a firm foundation gives
Here, let me build, and rest secure

Here, let my faith unshaken dwell
Immoveable the promise stands
Nor all the pow'rs of earth and hell
Can e'er dissolve the sacred bands
Can e'er dissolve the sacred bands

If my immortal Saviour lives
Then my immortal life is sure
His word a firm foundation gives
Here, let me build, and rest secure

Here, O my soul, thy trust repose
If Jesus is forever mine
Not death itself, that last of foes
Shall break a union so divine
Shall break a union so divine
Shall break a union so divine
