My Portion Forever
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A Victorian-era consecration hymn calling believers to surrender everything to Jesus and find their lasting treasure in Him alone. It contrasts the fleeting 'gilded toys' of the world with the imperishable wealth found in Christ.
Verse 1
All, all to Jesus, I consecrate anew;
He is my portion forever,
Only His glory henceforth will I pursue:
He is my portion forever.
Chorus
Take, take the world, with all its gilded toys,
Take, take the world, I covet not its joys,
Mine is a wealth no moth nor rust destroys;
He is my portion forever.
Verse 2
All, all to Jesus, my trusting heart can say:
He is my portion forever.
Led by His mercy, I'm walking ev'ry day:
He is my portion forever.
Chorus
Take, take the world, with all its gilded toys,
Take, take the world, I covet not its joys,
Mine is a wealth no moth nor rust destroys;
He is my portion forever.
Verse 3
Though He may try me, this blessed truth I know:
He is my portion forever,
He will not leave me, His promise tells me so;
He is my portion forever.
Chorus
Take, take the world, with all its gilded toys,
Take, take the world, I covet not its joys,
Mine is a wealth no moth nor rust destroys;
He is my portion forever.
Verse 4
All, all to Jesus, I cheerfully resign:
He is my portion forever;
I have the witness that He, my Lord, is mine;
He is my portion forever.
Chorus
Take, take the world, with all its gilded toys,
Take, take the world, I covet not its joys,
Mine is a wealth no moth nor rust destroys;
He is my portion forever.
