"All for Jesus"
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.
Let my hands perform His bidding, Let my feet run in His ways, Let mine eyes see Jesus only, Let my lips speak forth His praise.
Worldlings prize their gems of beauty, Cling to gilded toys of dust, Boast of wealth, and fame, and pleasure, Only Jesus will I trust.
Since mine eyes were fixed on Jesus, I've lost sight of all beside-So enchained my spirit•s vision, Looking at the Crucified.
Oh, what wonder! How amazing! Jesus, glorious King of kings, Deigns to call me His beloved, Lets me rest beneath His winJ;!S. Amen.
*Benediction Professor Charles W. Anderson
