Jesus Is All the World to Me
Author: Will L. Thompson, 1847-1909 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.3 Appears in 302 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Jesus is all the world to me,
My life, my joy, my all;
He is my strength from day to day,
Without Him I would fall:
When I am sad, to Him I go,
No other one can cheer me so;
When I am sad, He makes me glad,
He's my friend.
2 Jesus is all the world to me,
My friend in trials sore;
I go to Him for blessings, and
He gives them o'er and o'er:
He sends the sunshine and the rain,
He sends the harvest's golden grain;
Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,
He's my friend.
3 Jesus is all the world to me,
And true to Him I'll be;
Oh, how could I this friend deny,
When he's so true to me?
Following Him I know I'm right,
He watches o'er me day and night;
Following him by day and night,
He's my friend.
4 Jesus is all the world to me,
I want no better friend;
I trust Him now, I'll trust Him when
Life's fleeting days shall end:
Beautiful life with such a friend,
Beautiful life that has no end;
Eternal life, eternal joy,
He's my friend. Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Faith, Trust, Love; Confidence; Faithfulness of the Believer; Jesus Christ Friend; New Life in Jesus Christ; Trust Used With Tune: ALL THE WORLD

Jesus, the name high over all
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 299 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the name high over all,
in hell, or earth, or sky;
angels and mortals prostrate fall,
and devils fear and fly,
and devils fear and fly.
2 Jesus, the name to sinners dear,
the name to sinners giv'n;
it scatters all their guilty fear,
it turns their hell to heaven,
it turns their hell to heaven.
3 Jesus, the pris'ner's fetters breaks,
and bruises Satan's head;
pow'r into strengthless souls he speaks,
and life into the dead,
and life into the dead.
4 O, that the world might taste and see
the riches of his grace!
The arms of love that compass me,
hold all the human race,
hold all the human race.
5 His only righteousness I show,
his saving truth proclaim;
'tis all my business here below
to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!'
to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!'
6 Happy, if with my latest breath
I may but gasp his name;
preach him to all, and cry in death:
'Behold, behold the Lamb!'
'Behold, behold the Lamb!' Topics: Easter; Joy, Praise and Thanksgiving; Year A Christ the King Used With Tune: LYDIA

an interest in the Savior's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain?
For me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Refrain:
Amazing love! how can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
2 He left his Father's throne above,
so free, so infinite his grace!
Emptied himself of all but love,
and bled for Adam's helpless race!
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
for, O my God, it found out me. [Refrain]
3 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night.
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray;
I woke--the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed thee. [Refrain]
4 No condemnation now I dread:
Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne
and claim the crown, through Christ my own. [Refrain] Used With Tune: SAGINA

while earth rolls onward into light,
through all the world her watch is keeping,
and rests not now by day or night.

the dawn leads on another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor dies the strain of praise away.

thy faithful 'neath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
thy wondrous doings heard on high.

like earth’s proud empires, pass away;
thy kingdom stands and grows forever,
till all thy creatures own thy sway. Topics: Evening; Church Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT

angel hosts, his praises sing;
pow'rs, dominions, bow before him,
and extol our God and King:
let no tongue on earth be silent,
ev'ry voice in concert ring,

sang of old with one accord;
whom the writings of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected;
let our songs declare his worth,
evermore and evermore. Topics: Christmas; Year A Christ the King; Years A, B, and C Christmas 2; Years A, B, and C Christmas Day Used With Tune: CORDE NATUS (DIVINYM MYSTERIUM)
