All Things in Jesus

Friends all around me are try­ing to find

What the heart yearns for

by sin un­der­mined;

I have the sec­ret

I know where ’tis found:

Only true plea­sures in Je­sus abound.

All that I want is in Je­sus.

He sa­tis­fies

joy He sup­plies;

Life would be worth­less with­out Him;

All things in Je­sus I find.

Some car­ry bur­dens whose weight has for years

Crushed them with sor­row and blind­ed with tears.

Yet One stands rea­dy to help them just now

If they will hum­bly in pe­ni­tence bow.

No oth­er name thrills the joy chords with­in

And through none else is re­mis­sion of sin.

He knows the pain of the heart sore­ly tried.

Both need and want will by Him be sup­plied.

Jesus is all this poor world needs to­day.

Blindly they strive

for sin dark­ens their way.

O to draw back the grim cur­tains of night

One glimpse of Je­sus and all will be bright!
