Ah, this nor tongue nor pen can show; the love of Jesus, what it is his true disciples know. 5 Jesu, our only joy be thou, as thou our prize wilt be; in thee be all our glory now, and through eternity.

All that I was, my sin, my guilt

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 123 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All that I was, my sin, my guilt, My death, was all mine own; All that I am I owe to Thee, My gracious God, alone. 2 The evil of my former state Was mine, and only mine; The good in which I now rejoice Is Thine, and only Thine. 3 The darkness of my former state, The bondage, all was mine; The light of life in which I walk, The liberty, is Thine. 4 Thy Word first made me feel my sin, It taught me to believe; Then in believing peace I found, And now I live, I live. 5 All that I am, e’en here on earth, All that I hope to be When Jesus comes and glory dawns, I owe it, Lord, to Thee. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: REDHEAD, No. 66
