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.
