Everything for Jesus (Hawks)

lyricist: Annie Hawks, 1880
Composer: Robert Lowry

Do ev­ery­thing for Je­sus

Nor seek an hour’s re­prieve

But give Him all thy serv­ice

From morn till si­lent eve;

How much to do for Je­sus?

O nev­er

nev­er ask;

’Tis ev­ery­thing for Je­sus—

This light­ens ev­ery task.

Bear ev­ery­thing for Je­sus

Of suf­fer­ing or wrong;

The pa­tient soul grows strong­er;

The way will not be long;

Bear ev­ery­thing for Je­sus

And count the loss but gain;

Since by His grace He frees us

And shat­ters eve­ry chain.

Share ev­ery­thing with Je­sus

For thou art not thine own;

The pain

the joy

the con­flict

Is not for thee alone;

Share ev­ery­thing with Je­sus

Each want

each woe

each care;

In ev­ery­thing He sees us

And hears our ev­ery pray­er.
