Lyrics

I would ev­er fol­low Thee,
Christ, my all; Christ, my all;
Thou art more than life to me,
Christ, my all; Christ, my all;
As a child I would be­lieve,
And Thy gift of grace re­ceive;
Let me ne’er Thy Spi­rit grieve,
Christ, my all; Christ, my all.

In Thy Word is my de­light,
Christ, my all; Christ, my all;
’Tis my com­fort day and night,
Christ, my all; Christ, my all;
Where Thou lead­est, I will go,
’Tho the way I may not know;
Thou the path of peace wilt show,
Christ, my all; Christ, my all.

Thou didst give Thy­self for me,
Christ, my all; Christ, my all;
Help me now to live for Thee,
Christ, my all; Christ, my all;
Time is fly­ing fast away,
Soon will close life’s fleet­ing day;
Let me la­bor while I may,
Christ, my all; Christ, my all.
