The Cyber Hymnal ‎#8042

8042. And Must I Part With All I Have?

1 And must I part with all I have,
My dearest Lord for Thee?
It is but right since Thou hast done
Much more than this for me.

2 Yes, let it go—one look from Thee
Will more than make amends,
For all the losses I sustain
Of credit, riches, friends.

3 Ten thousand worlds, ten thousand lives,
How worthless they appear,
Compared with Thee, supremely good,
Divinely bright and fair!

4 Savior of souls, could I from Thee
A single smile obtain,
Though destitute of all things else,
I’d glory in my gain.
