All for Jesus (James)

lyricist: Mary James, 1871
Composer: Asa Hull

All for Je­sus

all for Je­sus!

All my be­ing’s ran­somed pow­ers:

All my thoughts and words and do­ings

All my days and all my hours.

All for Je­sus! All for Je­sus!

All my days and all my hours;

All for Je­sus! All for Je­sus!

All my days and all my hours.

Let my hands per­form His bid­ding

Let my feet run in His ways;

Let my eyes see Je­sus on­ly

Let my lips speak forth His praise.

Worldlings prize their gems of beau­ty

Cling to gild­ed toys of dust

Boast of wealth and fame and plea­sure;

Only Je­sus will I trust.

Since my eyes were fixed on Je­sus

I’ve lost sight of all be­side;

So en­chained my spir­it’s vi­sion

Looking at the Cru­ci­fied.

Oh

what won­der! how amaz­ing!

Jesus

glo­ri­ous King of kings

Deigns to call me His be­lov­èd

Lets me rest be­neath His wings.
