Author: Ellen H. Willis Appears in 106 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 26:3 First Line: I left it all with Jesus long ago Lyrics: 1 I left it all with Jesus long ago, All my sins I brought him and my woe; When by faith I saw him on the tree, Heard his small, still whisper, "'Tis for thee," From my heart the burden rolled away! Happy day. 2 I leave it all with Jesus, for he knows How to steal the bitter from life's woes; How to gild the tear-drop with his smile, Make the desert garden bloom awhile: When my weakness leaneth on his might, All seems light. 3 I leave it all with Jesus day by day; Faith can firmly trust him, come what may. Hope has dropped her anchor, found her rest, In the calm sure haven of his breast; Love esteems it heaven to abide At his side.
