JESUS CHRIST >> LOVE OF CHRIST FOR US

SDAH 185

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.

Text

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;
O 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.
