1 Whatever the woes that betide me,
Whatever the ills that befall,
There’s naught that can injure or harm me,
For Christ is my all in all.

Refrain:
The Lord is my refuge in trouble,
My shelter whatever befall;
My heart cannot fear when the Master is near,
For He is my all in all.

2 The Savior is leading me gently,
And guiding my steps lest they fall;
No danger that comes can alarm me,
For He is my all in all. [Refrain]

3 With Him as my guide and my master,
No darkness nor gloom can appall;
His glory dispels every shadow,
And He is my all in all. [Refrain]
