Christ My Song - 60
Jesus, my Lord! my life! my all!
(Samuel Medley/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Jesus, my Lord! my life! my all!
1. Jesus, my Lord! my life! my all!
prostrate before thy throne I fall;
fain would my soul look up and see
my hope, my heaven, my all in thee. PDF - Midi
2. Here, in this world of sin and woe,
I'm filled with tossings to and fro,
burdened with sin, with fear oppressed;
and nothing here can give me rest.
3. In vain from creatures help I seek:
thou, only thou, the word canst speak,
to heal my wounds and calm my grief,
or give my mournful heart relief.
4. Lord, I am vile and poor and weak,
yet will I for thy mercy seek:
I therefore cannot turn away,
but wait to hear what thou wilt say.
5. Oh speak and bid my soul rejoice!
I long to hear thy pardoning voice:
say, "Peace, be still! look up and live;
life, peace and heaven are mine to give."
6. Without thy peace and presence, Lord,
not all the world can help afford:
oh, do not frown my soul away!
Lord, smile my darkness into day!
7. Then, filled with grateful, holy love,
my soul in praise shall sour above,
and with delightful joy record
the wondrous goodness of my Lord.
Samuel Medley, in: Philip Schaff: Christ in Song, 1870, 398.
