18 - Himself
1. | Once it was the blessing, Now it is the Lord | |
Once it was the feeling, Now it is His Word; | ||
Once His gift I wanted, Now Himself alone. | ||
Chorus: | All in all forever, Jesus will I sing; | |
Everything in Jesus, And Jesus everything | ||
2. | Once’twas painful trying, Now ‘tis perfect trust; | |
Once a half salvation, Now the uttermost; | ||
Once’twas ceaseless holding, Now He holds me fast; | ||
Once’twas constant drifting, Now my anchor’s cast. | ||
3. | Once’twas busy planning, Now ‘tis trustful prayer; | |
Once’twas anxious caring, Now He has the care; | ||
Once’twas what I wanted, Now what Jesus says; | ||
Once’twas constant asking, Now ‘tis ceaseless praise. | ||
4. | Once it was my working, His it hence shall be; | |
Once I Tried to use Him, Now He uses me; | ||
Once the power I wanted, Now the Mighty One; | ||
Once For self I laboured, Now for Him alone. | ||
5. | Once I hoped in Jesus, Now I know He’s mine; | |
Once my lamps were dying, Now they brightly shine; | ||
Once for death I waited, Now His coming hail; | ||
And my hopes are anchored Safe within the vail. |
