Lyrics

In sin I once had wandered,
All weary, sad, and lone,
Till Je­sus through His mercy
Adopted me His own.
E’er since I learned to trust Him,
His grace doth make me free,
And now I feel His pardon,
He’s everything to me.

Refrain

He’s everything to me,
From sin He sets me free,
His peace and love my portion
Through all eternity!
He’s everything to me,
More than I dreamed could be.
O praise His name for­ev­er!
He’s everything to me.

In sin no more I’ll wander;
He’s pilot, friend, and guide;
He brings me joy and singing;
His Spi­rit doth abide.
A blessèd, loving Sav­ior,
The Lamb of Cal­va­ry!
He purchased my re­demp­tion.
He’s everything to me.

Refrain

No longer will I stray from
His tender, loving care;
Like Him to be my purpose,
My aim, my constant prayer.
And when He bids me welcome
Throughout eternity,
I’ll praise His name for­ev­er.
He’s everything to me.
