Om jag ägde allt, men icke Jesus

Meter: 10.9.10.9 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Om jag ägde allt, men icke Jesus, Vore lifvet värdt att lefva då? Kunde väl mitt hjärtas oro stillas Blott med det som icke skall bestå, Kunde väl mitt hjärtas oro stillas Blott med det som icke skall bestå. 2 Om jag ägde allt, men icke Jesus, Vore vinsten värd en lifslång strid? Är väl jordefröjden värd att nämnas Mot en enda stund af jesu frid? Är väl jordefröjden värd att nämnas Mot en enda stund af jesu frid? 3 Om jag ägde rikedom och kärlek Och bland människor ett äradt namn, Men ej nå got hopp för evigheten, Och för redlös farkost ingen hamn. Men ej nå got hopp för evigheten, Och för redlös farkost ingen hamn. 4 Om jag ägde allt, men icke Jesus, Och hans kärlek intill korsets död, O, hvarthän i hela vida världen Skulle jag väl fly i hjärtenöd? O, hvarthän i hela vida världen Skulle jag väl fly i hjärtenöd? 5 O hur tomt är allt i vida världen1 Utan Jesu är blott synd och nöd. Utan Jesus är ock evigheten Idel mörker, gråt och evig död. Utan Jesus är ock evigheten Idel mörker, gråt och evig död. 6 Om jag kunde lefva utan Jesus, O hur ginge det att dö en gång? Utan honom i den mörka dalen, Utan honom evighteten lång. Utan honom i den mörka dalen, Utan honom evighteten lång. 7 Hvilken lycka att ha allt i Jesus: Läkedom för alla hjärtats sår. Ingen synd, som icke han förlåter, Ingen nöd, som icke han förstår! Ingen synd, som icke han förlåter, Ingen nöd, som icke han förstår! 8 Om jag äger Jesus, endast Jesus, Och i hela världen intet mer, O, så äger jag dock allt i honom, Han som nog och öfvernog oss ger. O, så äger jag dock allt i honom, Han som nog och öfvernog oss ger. Topics: Sinnesändring och Tro; Conversion and Faith Used With Tune: [Om jag ägde allt, men icke Jesus]

If I Gained the World

Author: Anna Ölander Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2777 First Line: If I gained the world, but lost the Savior Lyrics: 1. If I gained the world, but lost the Savior, Were my life worth living for a day? Could my yearning heart find rest and comfort In the things that soon must pass away? If I gained the world, but lost the Savior, Would my gain be worth the lifelong strife? Are all earthly pleasures worth comparing For a moment with a Christ-filled life? 2. Had I wealth and love in fullest measure, And a name revered both far and near, Yet no hope beyond, no harbor waiting, Where my storm-tossed vessel I could steer; If I gained the world, but lost the Savior, Who endured the cross and died for me, Could then all the world afford a refuge, Whither, in my anguish, I might flee? 3. O what emptiness!—without the Savior ’Mid the sins and sorrows here below! And eternity, how dark without Him! Only night and tears and endless woe! What, though I might live without the Savior, When I come to die, how would it be? O to face the valley’s gloom without Him! And without Him all eternity! 4. O the joy of having all in Jesus! What a balm the broken heart to heal! Ne’er a sin so great, but He’ll forgive it, Nor a sorrow that He does not feel! If I have but Jesus, only Jesus, Nothing else in all the world beside— O then everything is mine in Jesus; For my needs and more He will provide. Languages: English Tune Title: ÖLANDER

Anna Ölander

Anonymous

Composer of "ÖLANDER" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
