Jesus Is All the World to Me

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.  

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.  

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.  

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.
