Author: Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #CXXXIX (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns First Line: And must I part with all I have Lyrics: 1 And must I part with all I have,
My dearest Lord, for thee?
It is but right, since thou hast done
Much more than this for me.
2 Yes, let it go—one look from thee
Will more than make amends,
For all the losses I sustain
Of credit, riches, friends.
3 Ten thousand worlds, then thousand lives,
How worthless they appear,
Compar'd with thee, supremely good,
Divinely bright and fair!
4 Saviour of souls, could I from thee
A single smile obtain,
Tho' destitute of all things else,
I'd glory in my gain. Topics: Graces Scripture: Luke 9:23 Languages: English
