Tekst

I Left it All with Jesus
1 I left it all with Jesus
Long ago;
All my sins I brought Him,
And my woe.
When by faith I saw Him
On the tree,
Heard His small still whisper,
“‘Tis for thee.”
From my heart the burden
Rolled away —
Happy day!

2 I leave it all with Jesus,
For He knows
How to steal the bitter
From life’s woes;
How to gild the teardrop
With His smile,
Make the desert garden
Bloom awhile;
When my weakness leaneth
On His might,
All seems light.

3 I leave it all with Jesus
Day by day;
Faith can firmly trust Him,
Come what may.
Hope has dropped her anchor,
Found her rest
In the calm, sure haven
Of His breast;
Love esteems it heaven
To abide
At His side.

4 Oh, leave it all with Jesus,
Drooping soul!
Tell not half the story,
But the whole.
Worlds on worlds are hanging
On His hand,
Life and death are waiting
His command;
Yet his tender bosom
Makes thee room —
Oh, come home!
