17. All Things in Jesus

1 Friends all around us are trying to find
What the heart yearns for, by sin undermined;
I have the secret, I know where 'tis found:
Only true pleasures in Jesus abound.

Chorus:
All that I want is in Jesus;
He satisfies, joy He supplies;
Life would be worthless without Him,
All things in Jesus I find.

2 Some carry burdens whose weight has for years
Crushed them with sorrow and blinded with tears,
Yet One stands ready to help them just now,
If they with faith and in penitence bow. [Chorus]

3 No other name thrills the joy-chords within,
And thro' none else is remission of sin;
He knows the pain of the heart sorely tried,
Both need and want will by Him be supplied. [Chorus]

4 Jesus is all this poor world needs to-day,
Blindly they strive, for sin darkens the way;
O to draw back the grim curtains of night,
One glimpse of Jesus, and all will be bright! [Chorus]
