Lyrics

All, yes all, I give to Je­sus,
It be­longs to Him;
All my heart I give to Je­sus,
It be­longs to Him;
Evermore to be His dwell­ing,
Evermore His prai­ses swell­ing,
Evermore His good­ness tell­ing,
It be­longs to Him.

All, yes all, I give to Je­sus,
It be­longs to Him;
All my voice I give to Je­sus,
It be­longs to Him;
Pleading for the young and hoa­ry,
Telling of His pow­er and glo­ry,
Singing o’er and o’er the sto­ry,
It be­longs to Him.

All, yes all, I give to Je­sus,
It be­longs to Him;
All my love I to give to Je­sus,
It be­longs to Him;
Loving Him for love un­ceas­ing,
For His mer­cy e’er in­creas­ing,
For His watch­care ne­ver ceas­ing,
It be­longs to Him.

All, yes all, I give to Je­sus,
It be­longs to Him;
All my life I give to Je­sus,
It be­longs to Him;
Hour by hour I’ll live for Je­sus,
Day by day I’ll work for Je­sus,
Evermore I’ll hon­or Je­sus,
All be­longs to Him.
