I LEFT IT ALL WITH JESUS LONG AGO;

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 still, small whisper, Tis for thee,
From my heart the burden rolled away:
Happy day!
From my heart the burden rolled away:
Happy day!

I leave it all with Jesus, for He knows
How to steal the bitter from life’s woes;
How to gild the tear-drop with His smile,
Make the desert garden bloom awhile:
When my weakness leaneth on His might
All seems light.
When my weakness leaneth on His might
All seems light.

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.
Love esteems it heaven to abide
At His side.
