All for Me, All for Thee

Representative Text

1 Saviour, I have heard thee pleading,
Passionately interceding,
Seen thy great heart broken, bleeding
All for me, all for me;
Lo, I come, the past lamenting,
For the wasted years repenting,
And my life henceforth presenting,
All for thee, all for thee.

2 Thou didst stoop in thy compassion
To be found in human fashion,
And endure thy nameless passion
All for me, all for me;
In thy name I come believing,
Of thy grace with joy receiving,
And the world behind me leaving,
All for thee, all for thee.

3 Moved by love divine and tender,
Thou didst joyfully surrender
Palaces of rest and splendor
All for me, all for me;
Now my soul to life awaking
Finds her highest joy in breaking
Bonds that bound her, and forsaking
All for thee, all for thee.

4 ‘Neath the cross I see thee bending,
To the place of skulls ascending,
None attending, none befriending,
All for me, all for me;
Now my heart with thy life beating
To each cross shall give glad greeting,
While my lips are still repeating
All for thee, all for thee.

5 In thy father’s glory sharing,
And the crown of ages wearing,
Thou art now a home preparing
All for me, all for me;
With the souls of thy befriending,
Saved from sorrow never-ending,
Shall my song be heard ascending
All for thee, all for thee.
