I Left It All With Jesus

Verse 1

I left it all with Jesus long ago, All my sins I brought him and my woe. When by faith I saw him on the tree, Heard his loving whisper: ‘Tis for thee; From my heart the burden rolled away, Happy day!

Verse 2

I leave it all with Jesus, for he knows How to steal the bitter from life’s woes, How to gild the teardrop with his smile, Make the desert garden bloom awhile; When my weakness leaneth on his might All is light!

Verse 3

I leave it all with Jesus day by day; Faith can firmly trust him, come what may; Hope has dropped her anchor, found her rest In the calm, sure haven of his breast; Love esteems it Heaven to abide At his side.

Verse 4

O leave it all with Jesus, needy soul; Tell not half the story, but the whole. Worlds on worlds are hanging on his hand, Life and death are waiting his command; Yet his tender mercy makes thee room; O come home!
