108. Christ My All

1 In the hour when guilt assails me,
And my long, long sins appall,
Then I haste to the forgiver,
On his gracious name I call;
There I find the heavenly fullness,
Christ, my righteousness, my all!
There I find divine completeness,
Christ, my cleanser and my all!

Refrain:
Christ my all!
Christ my all!
Christ, my righteousness, my all!
Christ my all!
Christ my all!
Christ, my cleanser and my all!

2 In the day when earth attracts me,
When its pleasures would enthrall,
When its loveliness would bind me,
And to creature love recall;
When I turn to brighter beauty,
Christ my glory and my all!
When I turn to fairer splendor,
Christ, my treasure and my all! [Refrain]

3 In the night when sorrow clouds me,
And the burning teardrops fall,
Then I look for one to wipe them,
On his changeless name I call,
Then I sing the song of patience,
Christ, my brother and my all!
And I rest upon his bosom,
Christ, my solace and my all! [Refrain]

4 In the land of promised glory,
In the day of festival,
Day of marriage and of triumph,
In the angel crowded hall;
This shall ever be my burden,
Christ, my glory and my all!
This shall ever be my anthem,
Christ, my bridegroom and my all! [Refrain]
