Lyrics

All things are pos­si­ble to him
That can in Je­su’s name be­lieve:
Lord, I no more Thy truth blas­pheme,
Thy truth I lov­ing­ly re­ceive;
I can, I do be­lieve in Thee,
All things are pos­si­ble to me.

The most im­pos­si­ble of all
Is, that I e’er from sin should cease;
Yet shall it be, I know it shall;
Jesus, look to Thy faith­ful­ness!
If no­thing is too hard for Thee,
All things are pos­si­ble to me.

Though earth and hell the Word gain­say,
The Word of God can ne­ver fail;
The Lamb shall take my sins away,
’Tis cer­tain, though im­pos­si­ble;
The thing im­pos­si­ble shall be,
All things are pos­si­ble to me.

When Thou the work of faith hast wrought,
I here shall in Thine im­age shine,
Nor sin in deed, or word, or thought;
Let men ex­claim, and fiends re­pine,
They can­not break the firm de­cree;
All things are pos­si­ble to me.

Thy mouth, O Lord, hath spoke, hath sworn
That I shall serve Thee with­out fear,
Shall find the pearl which oth­ers spurn,
Holy, and pure, and per­fect here,
The ser­vant as his Lord shall be;
All things are pos­si­ble to me.

All things are pos­si­ble to God,
To Christ, the pow­er of God in man,
To me, when I am all re­newed,
When I in Christ am formed again,
And wit­ness, from all sin set free,
All things are pos­si­ble to me.
