Something Jesus Gave Me

Author: Grace Webster Hinsdale Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 2 #11 (1890) First Line: I have something Jesus gave me for my own Lyrics: 1 I have something Jesus gave me for my own; It is something which He sent me from His throne; It is something which I carry near my heart: It is safe till Jesus bids me from it part. 2 In itself it hath no value more than tears; Tho' I'm weary as I bear it, I've no fears; It is precious as a token from the Lord, That His heart-tho't is as loving as His word. 3 Like His presence it doth bring me peace divine; 'Tis his sweet and tender whisper, Thou art mine. What's the gift I clasp so closely wouldst thou see? 'Tis a cross which Christ, my Master sent, to me. 4 If my human hands had found it, I should grieve; But my Jesus laid it on me, I believe. Oh, how sweet it is to bear it as His gift! While the burden of my treasure Christ doth lift. Languages: English Tune Title: [I have something Jesus gave me for my own]
