Christ is All

Hymnal: Living Hymns #152 (1890) First Line: I entered once a home of care Refrain First Line: Christ is all, all in all Lyrics: 1 I entered once a home of care, For age and penury were there, Yet peace and joy withal; I asked the lonely mother whence Her helpless widowhood’s defense, She told me, "Christ was all." Chorus: Christ is all, all in all, Yes, Christ is all in all; Christ is all, all in all, Yes, Christ is all in all. 2 I stood beside a dying bed, Where lay a child with aching head, Waiting for Jesus' call; I marked his smile, 'twas sweet as May, And as his spirit passed away, He whispered, "Christ is all." [Chorus] 3 I saw the martyr at the stake, The flames could not his courage shake Nor death his soul appal, I asked him whence his strength was given, He look triumphantly to heaven, And answered, "Christ is all." [Chorus] 4 I saw the gospel herald go,-- To Afric's sand and Greenland's snow, To save from Satan's thrall, Nor home, nor life he counted dear, 'Midst wants and perils owned no fear, He felt that "Christ was all." [Chorus] 5 I dreamt that hoary time had fled, And earth and sea resigned their dead, A fire dissolved this ball: I saw the Church’s glorious throng; I heard the burden of their song,— 'Twas Christ is all in all! [Chorus] 6 Then come to Christ, oh, come to-day, The Father, Son, and Spirit say; The Bride repeats the call, For he will cleanse your guilty stains, His love will soothe your weary pains, For "Christ is all in all." [Chorus] Scripture: 1 Peter 2:7 Languages: English Tune Title: [I entered once a home of care]

P. P. Bilhorn

1865 - 1936 Author (v. 4) of "Christ Is All" in Soul Winning Songs Pseudonyms: W. Ferris Britcher, Irene Durfee; C. Ferris Holden, P. H. Roblin (a anagram of his name) ================ Peter Philip Bilhorn was born, in Mendota, IL. His father died in the Civil War 3 months before he was born. His early life was not easy. At age 8, he had to leave school to help support the family. At age 15, living in Chicago, he had a great singing voice and sang in German beer gardens there. At this time, he and his brother also formed the Eureka Wagon & Carriage Works in Chicago, IL. At 18 Peter became involved in gospel music, studying under George F. Root and George C. Stebbins. He traveled to the Dakotas and spent some time sharing the gospel with cowboys there. He traveled extensively with D. L. Moody, and was Billy Sunday's song leader on evangelistic endeavors. His evangelistic work took him into all the states of the Union, Great Britain, and other foreign countries. In London he conducted a 4000 voice choir in the Crystal Palace, and Queen Victoria invited him to sing in Buckinghm Palace. He wrote some 2000 gospel songs in his lifetime. He also invented a folding portable telescoping pump organ, weighing 16 lbs. It could be set up in about a minute. He used it at revivals in the late 19th century. He founded the Bilhorn Folding Organ Company in Chicago. IL, and his organ was so popular it was sold all over the world. He edited 10 hymnals and published 11 gospel songbooks. He died in Los Angeles, CA, in 1936. John Perry
