My God and My All

lyricist: William Young (?-1757)
Composer: James Murray, 1891

While Thou

O my God

art my help and de­fend­er

No cares can o’er­whelm me

no ter­rors ap­pall;

The wiles and the snares of the world will but ren­der

More live­ly my hope in my God and my all.

My God

my all

my God

my all

My trea­sure

my glo­ry

my God and my all.

Yes

Thou art my re­fuge in sor­row and dan­ger

My strength when I suf­fer

my hope when I fall;

My com­fort and joy in this land of the strang­er

My trea­sure

my glo­ry

my God and my all.

To Thee

dear­est Lord

will I turn with­out ceas­ing

Though grief may op­press me

or sor­row be­fall;

And love Thee

till death

my blest spir­it re­leas­ing

Secures me to Je­sus

my God and my all.

And when Thou de­mand­est the life Thou hast giv­en

With joy will I an­swer Thy mer­ci­ful call

And quit this poor earth but to find Thee in Heav­en

My por­tion for­ev­er

my God and my all.
