18 - Himself

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.
