18. Fix Your Thoughts on Jesus

1 Fix your thoughts on Jesus,
While life is fair and bright,
It will bring you comfort,
And guide you to the right.
Fix your thoughts on Jesus;
Oh, worthy theme is he!
From earth's vain wish and low desire
Your soul will be free.

2 Fix your heart on Jesus;
Your best affections give
To the crucified One,
Who died that you might live,
Fix your thoughts on Jesus;
Oh, worthy theme is he!
From earth's vain wish and low desire
Your soul will be free.

3 Trust your all to Jesus,
He hath the pow'r to keep;
He will guide to heaven,
Tho' roads be rough and steep.
Fix your thoughts on Jesus;
Oh, worthy theme is he!
From earth's vain wish and low desire
Your soul will be free.

4 Thinking, speaking, doing,
So by our lives to show
That we live for Jesus,
And labor here below.
Fix your thoughts on Jesus;
Oh, worthy theme is he!
From earth's vain wish and low desire
Your soul will be free.
