#185 Jesus is All the World to Me

Words and Music: Will L. Thompson (1847-1909)

 

 

Jesus is all the world to me,

my life, my joy, my all;

he is my strength from day to day,

without him I would fall.

When I am sad, to him I go,

no other one can cheer me so;

when I am sad, he makes me glad,

he's my friend.

 

Jesus is all the world to me,

my friend in trials sore;

I go to him for blessings, and

he gives them o'er and o'er.

He sends the sunshine and the rain,

he sends the harvest's golden grain;

sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,

he's my friend.

 

Jesus is all the world to me,

and true to him I'll be;

O how could I this friend deny,

when he's so true to me?

Following him I know I'm right,

he watches o'er me day and night;

following him by day and night,

he's my friend.

 

Jesus is all the world to me,

I want no better friend;

I trust him now, I'll trust him when

life's fleeting days shall end.

Beautiful life with such a friend,

beautiful life that has no end;

eternal life, eternal joy,

he's my friend.
