Hymn

Jesus Paid It All

Elvina M. Hall

Metre 6.6.6.6 with refrain

I hear the Savior say,

"Thy strength indeed is small,

Child of weakness, watch and pray,

Find in Me thine all in all."

Jesus paid it all,

All to Him I owe;

Sin had left a crimson stain,

He washed it white as snow.

Lord, now indeed I find

Thy power and Thine alone,

Can change the leper's spots

And melt the heart of stone.

For nothing good have I

Whereby Thy grace to claim--

I'll wash my garments white

In the blood of Calv'ry's Lamb.

And when, before the throne,

I stand in Him complete,

"Jesus died my soul to save,"

My lips shall still repeat.
