All for Jesus! ii.II for Jesus! All rny being's ransomed powers, All m'/ thoughts, and words, and doings, All my days and all my hours.

Let my hands perform His bidding, Let my feet run in His ways, Let minP. eyes ,ee Jesus onll, Let my lii::s speak forth His praise.

Since mine ey•Js were fixed on Jesus, I've lost sight of all beside-So enchained my spirit's vision, Looking et the Crucified.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken ·

Glorious things of thee are spoken,

Zion, city of our God;

He whose word cannot be broken

Formed thee for his own abode:

On the Rock of Ages founded,

What can shake thy sure repose?

With salvation's walls surrounded,

Thou may'st smile at all thy foes.

See, the streams of living waters,

Springing from eternal love,

Well suppiy thy sons and daughters,

And all fear of want remove:

Who can faint, while such a river

Ever flows their thirst t'assuage?

Grace which, like the Lord, the giver,

Never fails from age to age.

Round each habitation hov'ring

See the cloud and fire appear

For a glory and a cov' ring,

Showing that the Lord is near:

Thus deriving from their banner

Light by night and shade by day,

Safe they feed upon the manna

Which he gives them when they pray.

Saviour, if of Zion's city

I through grace, a member am,

Let the world deride or pity,

I will glory in thy Name:

Fading is tha worldling's pleasure,

All his boasted pomp and show;

Solid joys and lasting treasure

None but Zion's children know. Amen.
