All is in Christ;
|
|
| 1. | All is in Christ; |
| | God's dear Son is Lord of all. |
| | Jesus Christ is life's perfection, |
| | Perfect love and perfect light. |
| | Son of God, the true reflection |
| | Of the Father's radiance bright. |
| | All the treasures of God's riches, |
| | All the secrets of His wisdom, |
| | All in Christ are hid away. |
| | Let His name be praised today! |
| 2. | All is in Christ; |
| | God's dear Son is Lord of all. |
| | Blessings are imparted to us |
| | By the shameful cross He bore. |
| | By His suffering inglorious |
| | We have peace forevermore. |
| | By the Cross we have forgiveness, |
| | Life eternal, endless mercy. |
| | By God's Son is freely giv'n |
| | Everything in earth and heav'n. |
| 3. | All is in Christ; |
| | God's dear Son is Lord of all. |
| | In me there is naught but weakness, |
| | I am worthless, full of sin, |
| | Stricken by its mortal sickness, |
| | Lacking light and hope within. |
| | Now in Christ I find abundant |
| | Victory and strength and power. |
| | Savior, come and live in me, |
| | Come and make me rich in Thee. |
| 4. | All is in Christ; |
| | God's dear Son is Lord of all. |
| | Savior, pardon my transgressions, |
| | For my love is still so small; |
| | Though I gave all my possessions, |
| | This would profit scarce at all. |
| | 'Tis myself that Thou desirest; |
| | So I give myself, dear Master; |
| | No thing hast Thou kept from me- |
| | Nor will I keep aught from Thee. |
| 5. | All is in Christ; |
| | Your whole self present to Him. |
| | Vain your quest for lasting pleasure, |
| | Wealth, success, and worldly fame; |
| | Christ alone must be your treasure, |
| | His resource your only claim. |
| | Come, let Him disperse the famine |
| | Of your arid, waste existence. |
| | Let God's Son, th' Immortal King |
| | Freely give you everything. |
