Scripture Verse

Introduction

Origin of the Hymn

I went for a lit­tle vis­it of five days (to Are­ley House). There were ten per­sons in the house, some un­con­vert­ed and long prayed for, some con­vert­ed, but not re­joic­ing Chris­tians.

He gave me the pray­er, Lord, give me all in this house! And He just did.

Before I left the house ev­ery one had got a bless­ing. The last night of my vis­it af­ter I had re­tired, the gov­er­ness asked me to go to the two daugh­ters. They were cry­ing, &c.; then and there both of them trust­ed and re­joiced; it was near­ly mid­night.

I was too hap­py to sleep, and passed most of the night in praise and re­new­al of my own con­se­cra­tion; and these lit­tle coup­lets formed them­selves, and chimed in my heart one af­ter an­oth­er till they fin­ished with Ev­er, On­ly, ALL for Thee!
