The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#649

649. And must I part with all I have

1 And must I part with all I have,
My dearest Lord, for thee!
It is but right since thou hast done
Much more than this for me.

2 Yes, let it go; one look from thee
Will more than make amends
For all the losses I sustain
Of honor, riches, friends.

3 Ten thousand worlds, ten thousand lives,
How worthless they appear
Compared with thee, supremely good,
Divinely bright and fair!

4 Saviour of souls, could I from thee
A single smile obtain,
The loss of all things I could bear,
And glory in my gain.
