All for Jesus

Words: Mary D. James · Music: John Stainer · 1871

Verse 1
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my being's ransomed pow'rs,
all my thoughts and words and doings,
all my days and all my hours.

Verse 2
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.

Verse 3
Worldlings prize their gems of beauty,
cling to gilded toys of dust,
boast of wealth and fame and pleasure;
only Jesus will I trust.

Verse 4
Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus,
I've lost sight of all beside;
so enchained my spirit's vision,
looking at the Crucified.

Verse 5
Oh, what wonder! How amazing!
Jesus, glorious King of kings,
deigns to call me his beloved,
lets me rest beneath his wings.
