1 Jesus is all the world to me,
My life, my joy, my all;
He is my strength from day to day,
Without him I would fall:
When I am sad, to him I go,
No other one can cheer me so;
When I am sad, he makes me glad,
He's my friend.
2 Jesus is all the world to me,
My friend in trials sore;
I go to him for blessings, and
He gives them o'er and o'er:
He sends the sunshine and the rain,
He sends the harvest's golden grain;
Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,
He's my friend.
3 Jesus is all the world to me,
And true to him I'll be;
Oh, how could I this friend deny,
When he's so true to me?
Following him I know I'm right,
He watches o'er me day and night;
Following him by day and night,
He's my friend.
4 Jesus is all the world to me,
I want no better friend;
I trust him now, I'll trust him when
Life's fleeting days shall end:
Beautiful life with such a friend,
Beautiful life that has no end;
Eternal life, eternal joy,
He's my friend.

1 Cristo es mi dulce Salvador,
mi bien, mi paz, mi luz;
mostróme su infinito amor
muriendo en dura cruz.
Cuando estoy triste encuentro en él
consolador y amigo fiel;
consolador, amigo fiel es Jesús.
2 Cristo es mi dulce Salvador,
su sangre me compró;
con sus heridas y dolor,
perfecta paz me dio.
Dicha inmortal allá tendré,
con Cristo siempre reinaré,
dicha inmortal allá tendré, con Jesús.
3 Cristo es mi dulce Salvador,
mi eterno Redentor,
¡oh!, nunca yo podré pagar
la deuda de su amor.
Le seguiré fiel en la luz,
no temeré llevar me cruz;
no temeré llevar me cruz por Jesús.
4 Cristo es mi dulce Salvador,
por él salvado soy;
la roca de la eternidad,
en quien seguro estoy;
gloria inmortal allá tendré,
con Cristo siempre reinaré,
gloria inmortal allá tendré con Jesús.
