181. All for Jesus

1 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.

Chorus:
All for Jesus! blessed Jesus!
All for Jesus, gladly I resign;
All for Jesus! blessed Jesus!
I am his, and he is mine.

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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

4 Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus,
I've lost sight of all besides;
So enchained my spirit's vision,
Looking at the Crucified. [Chorus]

5 Oh, what wonder! how amazing!
Jesus, glorious King of kings
Deigns to call me his beloved,
Lets me rest beneath his wings. [Chorus]
