Hymn

All for Jesus!

Mary D. James

Metre 8.7.8.7. D. with refrain

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.

All for Jesus! All for Jesus!

All my being's ransomed powers;

All for Jesus! All for Jesus!

All my days and all my hours.

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.

All for Jesus! All for Jesus!

Let my feet run in His ways;

All for Jesus! All for Jesus!

Let my lips speak forth His praise.

Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus,

I've lost sight of all beside;

So enchained my spirit's vision,

Looking at the Crucified.

All for Jesus! All for Jesus!

I've lost sight of all beside;

All for Jesus! All for Jesus!

All for Jesus Crucified!
