Lyrics

I have giv­en all to Je­sus!
Him to fol­low ev­er­more;
And my bless­èd Lord and mas­ter
Now is march­ing on be­fore.

Refrain

Oh! I know ’tis He who guides me,
And I fol­low His com­mand;
For I feel He is so near me,
As to lead me by the hand.

As I trust Him ev­ery mo­ment,
Oh! He keeps me sweet­ly saved!
He hath loved me, oh so dear­ly!
Yes, for me His life He gave.

Refrain

Now my soul breaks forth in sing­ing
Glorious songs of vic­to­ry!
Jesus in my heart is reign­ing,
He shall have eter­nal sway.

Refrain

O the won­drous love of Je­sus!
How it thrills our souls with praise;
Through His blood He hath re­deemed us,
And this pre­cious love He gave.

Refrain

Soon we’ll see our Sav­ior com­ing
In the clouds, O glo­ri­ous sight!
With a host of shin­ing an­gels,
Power, ma­jes­ty, and might.

Refrain

Then we’ll all go home to glo­ry,
And with Je­sus ev­er dwell;
He who pur­chased our re­demp­tion,
Yes, He do­eth all things well.
