Lavish Love, Abundant Beauty
Lavish love, abundant beauty,
Gracious gifts for heart and hand,
Life that fills the soul and senses?
All burst forth at Your command.
Lord, our Lord, Eternal Father,
Great Creator, God and Friend,
Boundless power gave full expression
To Your love which knows no end.
Who am I that You should love me,
Meet my every need from birth?
Why invest Yourself so fully
In a creature made of earth?
In Your loving heart You planned me,
Fashioned me with greatest care;
Through my soul You breathed Your Spirit,
Planted Your own image there.
I am Yours, Eternal Father,
All my body, mind, and heart.
Take and use me to Your glory,
Form Yourself in every part.
Lord, Your love brings joy and gladness
Flowing forth within my soul.
May my very breath and being
Rise to You, their source and goal.

“We Fix Our Eyes”
“We Fix Our Eyes”
We fix our eyes on You, Your face and beauty see,
Transcending bridge from God to us; our infant Savior, King;
On Jesus Christ, our Glorious Divine, descended Son,
The Holy One, we fix our eyes.
We fix our eyes on You, Your face and beauty see,
Transcending bridge from God to us; our infant Savior, King;
On Jesus Christ, our Glorious Divine, descended Son,
The Holy One, we fix our eyes.
We fix our eyes on You, and on Your cross we gaze
And see the battered body endure our death of shame;
On Jesus Christ, our Glorious Divine, descended Son,
The broken One, we fix our eyes.
We fix our eyes on You, and on Your cross we gaze
And see the battered body endure our death of shame;
On Jesus Christ, our Glorious Divine, descended Son,
The broken One, we fix our eyes.
We fix our eyes on You, the vic’try You have won
When You removed death’s fearful sting that brilliant Easter morn;
On Jesus Christ, our Glorious Divine, descended Son,
Now risen One, we fix our eyes.

On Jesus Christ, our Glorious Divine, descended Son,
Now risen One, we fix our eyes.
We fix our eyes on You, and look t’ward eastern skies,
Awaiting that triumphant day when we will rise with Jesus Christ,
Our Glorious Divine, descended Son, exalted One,
We fix our eyes, we fix our eyes, we fix our eyes on Jesus Christ!
