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.
