1 If I have not the joy of my Jesus today,
If I have not lain all on the cross,
My goals and my talents shall fall to the ground,
And all will be infinite loss.
Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, my Friend!
Let my life matter for Thee!
Let not my burdens o’ershadow Thy joy
That Thou has given to me!

Why then should I complain if I see?
How dare I be selfish, ungratefully sigh,
When Jesus has giv’n all for me! [Refrain]
3 Fill my heart with Thy love and Thy zeal, dearest Lord!
Father, have Thine own will, Thine own way!
And when I demand that my will must be done,
Lord, purge me and teach me to say: [Refrain]
