Baptist Hymnal 1991 ‎#184

184. Jesus Is All the World to Me

1. Jesus is all the world to me,
My life, my joy, my all;
He is my strength from day to day,
Without Him I would fall:
When I am sad, to Him I go;
No other one can cheer me so;
When I am sad, He makes me glad;
He's my friend.

2. Jesus is all the world to me,
My friend in trials sore;
I go to Him for blessings, and
He gives them o'er and o'er:
He send the sunshine and the rain,
He sends the harvest's golden grain;
Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain;
He's my friend.

3. Jesus is all the world to me,
And true to Him I'll be;
Oh, how could I this friend deny,
When He's so true to me?
Following Him, I know I'm right,
He watches o'er me day and night;
Following Him by day and night;
He's my friend.

4. Jesus is all the world to me,
I want no better friend;
I trust Him now, I'll trust Him when
Life's fleeting days shall end:
Beautiful life with such a friend,
Beautiful life that has no end;
Eternal life, eternal joy;
He's my friend.
