Christ My All
Horatius Bonar • English
Primary Scripture: Colossians 3:11
Verse 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!
Chorus
Christ my all! Christ my all! Christ, my righteousness, my all! Christ my all! Christ my all! Christ, my cleanser and my all!
Verse 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!
Chorus
Christ my all! Christ my all! Christ, my righteousness, my all! Christ my all! Christ my all! Christ, my cleanser and my all!
Verse 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!
Chorus
Christ my all! Christ my all! Christ, my righteousness, my all! Christ my all! Christ my all! Christ, my cleanser and my all!
Verse 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!
Chorus
Christ my all! Christ my all! Christ, my righteousness, my all! Christ my all! Christ my all! Christ, my cleanser and my all!
