- 1And must I part with all I have,
- Jesus, my Lord, for thee?
- This is my joy, since thou hast done
- Much more than this for me.
- 2Yes, let it go--one look from thee
- Will more than make amends
- For all the losses I sustain
- Of credit, riches, friends.
- 3Ten thousand worlds, ten thousand lives,
- How worthless they appear,
- Compared with thee, supremely good,
- Divinely bright and fair!
- 4Saviour of souls, while I from thee
- A single smile obtain,
- Though destitute of all things else,
- I'll glory in my gain.
