Methodist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#336a

336a. All for Jesus! all for Jesus!

1 All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
All my being's ransomed powers;
All my thoughts and words and doings,
All my days and all my hours.

2 Let my hands perform His bidding,
Let my feet run in His ways,
Let my eyes see Jesus only,
Let my lips speak forth His praise.

3 Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus
I've lost sight of all beside
So enchained my spirit's vision,
Looking at the Crucified!

4 Oh, what wonder! how amazing!
Jesus, glorious King of kings,
Deigns to call me His beloved,
Lets me rest beneath His wings.
