Himself

Author: Albert B. Simpson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2420 First Line: Once it was the blessing Refrain First Line: All in all forever Lyrics: 1. Once it was the blessing, Now it is the Lord; Once it was the feeling, Now it is His Word; Once His gift I wanted, Now, the Giver own; Once I sought for healing, Now Himself alone. Refrain All in all forever, Jesus will I sing; Everything in Jesus, And Jesus everything. 2. Once ’twas painful trying, Now ’tis perfect trust; Once a half salvation, Now the uttermost; Once ’twas ceaseless holding, Now He holds me fast; Once ’twas constant drifting, Now my anchor’s cast. [Refrain] 3. Once ’twas busy planning, Now ’tis trustful prayer; Once ’twas anxious caring, Now He has the care; Once ’twas what I wanted, Now what Jesus says; Once ’twas constant asking, Now ’tis ceaseless praise. [Refrain] 4. Once it was my working, His it hence shall be; Once I tried to use Him, Now He uses me; Once the pow’r I wanted, Now the Mighty One; Once for self I labored, Now for Him alone. [Refrain] 5. Once I hoped in Jesus, Now I know He’s mine; Once my lamps were dying, Now they brightly shine; Once for death I waited, Now His coming hail; And my hopes are anchored Safe within the veil. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Once it was the blessing]
