Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New ‎#13

13. All for Jesus!

1 All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
This our song shall ever be:
for we have no hope nor Saviour
if we have not hope in thee.

2 All for Jesus! thou wilt give us
strength to serve thee hour by hour;
none can move us from thy presence
while we trust thy love and pow'er.

3 All for Jesus! at thine altar
thou dost give us sweet content;
there, dear Savior, we receive thee
in thy holy sacrament.

4 All for Jesus! thou hast loved us,
all for Jesus! hour hast died,
all for Jesus! thou art with us,
all for Jesus, glorified!

5 All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
This the Church's song shall be,
till at last the flock is gathered
one in love, and one in thee.
