Lyrics

Have thy af­fec­tions been nailed to the cross?
Is thy heart right with God?
Dost thou count all things for Je­sus but loss?
Is thy heart right with God?

Refrain

Is thy heart right with God,
Washed in the crim­son flood,
Cleansed and made ho­ly, hum­ble and low­ly,
Right in the sight of God?

Hast thou do­min­ion o’er self and o’er sin?
Is thy heart right with God?
Over all ev­il with­out and with­in?
Is thy heart right with God?

Refrain

Is there no more con­dem­na­tion for sin?
Is thy heart right with God?
Does Je­sus rule in the tem­ple with­in?
Is thy heart right with God?

Refrain

Are all thy pow’rs under Je­sus’ con­trol?
Is thy heart right with God?
Does He each mo­ment abide in thy soul?
Is thy heart right with God?
