Leaving all to fol­low Je­sus,
Turning from the world away,
Stepping out up­on the pro­mise,
All I have is His to­day.

Refrain

Leaving all to fol­low Je­sus,
Turning from the world away,
Stepping out upon His pro­mise,
All I have is His to­day.

Naught re­serv­ing, on the al­tar
All I lay, and wait the hour
When the fire from Hea­ven des­cend­ing
Shall at­test His glo­ri­ous pow’r.

Refrain

Taking up the cross of Je­sus,
Glad for Him to suf­fer shame,
All my gain I count but loss­es
For the glo­ry of His name.

Refrain

Praise His pre­cious name for­ev­er
That His blood hath made me free!
Now my soul shall joy to tell it,
Thro’ the long eter­ni­ty.
