The Cyber Hymnal ‎#3564

3564. Leaving All to Follow Jesus

1. Leaving all to follow Jesus,
Turning from the world away,
Stepping out upon the promise,
All I have is His today.

Refrain
Leaving all to follow Jesus,
Turning from the world away,
Stepping out upon His promise,
All I have is His today.

2. Naught reserving, on the altar
All I lay, and wait the hour
When the fire from Heaven descending
Shall attest His glorious pow’r. [Refrain]

3. Taking up the cross of Jesus,
Glad for Him to suffer shame,
All my gain I count but losses
For the glory of His name. [Refrain]

4. Praise His precious name forever
That His blood hath made me free!
Now my soul shall joy to tell it,
Thro’ the long eternity. [Refrain]
