Verse 1
Jesus is all
the world to me,
my life, my joy, my all;
he is my strength
from day to day,
without him
I would fall.
When I am sad, to him I go,
no other one can cheer me so;
when I am sad,
he makes me glad,
he’s my friend.
Verse 2
Jesus is all the world to me,
my friend in trials sore;
I go to him
for blessings, and
he gives them o’er and o’er.
He sends the sunshine
and the rain,
he sends the harvest’s
golden grain;
sunshine and rain,
harvest of grain,
he’s my friend.
Verse 3
Jesus is all
the world to me,
and true to him I’ll be;
O how could I this friend deny,
when he’s so true to me?
Following him
I know I’m right,
he watches o’er me
day and night;
following him
by day and night,
he’s my friend.
Verse 4
Jesus is all the world to me,
I want no better friend;
I trust him now,
I’ll trust him when
life’s fleeting
days shall end.
Beautiful life
with such a friend,
beautiful life
that has no end;
eternal life, eternal joy,
he’s my friend.
