Christ is all, yes, all in all

Author: Herbert Howard Booth (1862-1926); W. H. Williams Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: I bring to thee my heart to fill Lyrics: 1 I bring to thee my heart to fill; I feel how weak I am, but still To thee for help I call. In joy or grief, to live or die, For earth or Heaven, this is my cry, Be thou my all in all. Refrain: Christ is all, yes, all in all, My Christ is all in all. 2 Around me in the world I see No joy that turns my soul from thee; Its honours fade and fall; But with thee, though I mount the cross, I count it gain to suffer loss, For thou art all in all. 3 I’ve little strength to call my own, And what I’ve done, before thy throne I here confess, is small; But on thy strength, O God, I lean, And through the blood that makes me clean, Thou art my all in all. 4 No tempest can my courage shake, My love from thee no pain can take, No fear my heart appal; And where I cannot see I’ll trust, For then I know thou surely must Be still my all in all.

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 If so poor a soul as I May to thy great glory live, All my actions sanctify, All my words and thoughts receive; Claim me for thy service, claim All I have and all I am. 2 Take my soul and body’s powers, Take my memory, mind and will, All my goods and all my hours, All I know and all I feel, All I think or speak or do; Take my heart, but make it new! 3 Now, O God, thine own I am, Now I give thee back thine own; Freedom, friends and health and fame Consecrate to thee alone; Thine I live, thrice happy I, Happier still if thine I die.

Author: William James Pearson (1832-92) Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I'm set apart for Jesus, To be a king and priest; His life in me increases, Upon his love I feast. From evil separated, Made holy by his blood, My all is consecrated Unto the living God. 2 I’m set apart for Jesus, His goodness I have seen, He makes my heart his altar, He keeps his temple clean. Our union none can sever, Together every hour, His life is mine for ever With resurrect ion power. 3 I’m set apart for Jesus, With him to ever stay, My spirit he releases, He drives my foes away. He gives full strength for trial And shields when darts are hurled; With him and self-denial I overcome the world. Topics: The life of holiness Consecration and service

Immortal love, for ever full

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-92) Appears in 305 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Immortal love, for ever full, For ever flowing free, For ever shared, for ever whole, A never-ebbing sea. 2 Our outward lips confess the name All other names above; Love only knoweth whence it came, And comprehendeth love. 3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For him no depth can drown. 4 In joy of inward peace, or sense Of sorrow over sin, He is his own best evidence, His witness is within. 5 For warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is he; And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee.

Jesus, all-atoning Lamb

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, all-atoning Lamb, Thine, and only thine, I am; Take my body, spirit, soul; Only thou possess the whole. 2 Thou my one thing needful be; Let me ever cleave to thee; Let me choose the better part; Let me give thee all my heart. 3 Fairer than the sons of men, Do not let me turn again, Leave the fountain-head of bliss, Stoop to worldly happiness. 4 All my treasure is above, All my riches is thy love; Who the worth of love can tell? Infinite, unsearchable. Topics: The life of holiness Consecration and service

Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Appears in 1,305 hymnals First Line: Jesus, I my cross have taken Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow thee; Though I be despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be. Refrain: I will follow thee, my Saviour, Thou hast shed thy blood for me; And though all the world forsake thee, By thy grace I’ll follow thee. 2 Perish every fond ambition, All I’ve sought or hoped or known; Yet how rich is my condition, God and Heaven are still my own. 3 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Saviour too; Human hearts and looks deceive me, Thou art not like them, untrue. 4 And while thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might, Foes may hate and friends may shun me, Show thy face and all is bright. 5 O ‘tis not in grief to harm me, While thy love is left to me! O ‘twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy not found in thee! Topics: The life of holiness Consecration and service
