Millennial Harp 46
Jesus Is All the World to Me
1Jesus 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.
2Jesus 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.
3Jesus is all the world to me, And true to Him I'll be; O 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.
4Jesus 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.
