I Entered Once A Home Of Care,
For Age And Penury Were There,
Yet Peace And Joy Withal;
I Asked The Lonely Mother Whence
Her Helpless Widowhood’s Defense;
She Told Me, “Christ Is All.”
Christ Is All, All In All,
Yes, Christ Is All In All;
Christ Is All, All In All,
Yes, Christ Is All In All.
I Stood Beside A Dying Bed,
Where Lay A Child With Aching Head,
Waiting For Jesus’ Call;
I Marked His Smile, ‘Twas Sweet As May;
And As His Spirit Passed Away,
He Whispered, “Christ Is All.”
I Saw A Martyr At The Stake,
The Flames Could Not His Courage Shake,
Nor Death His Soul Appall;
I Asked Him Whence His Strength Was Given;
He Looked Triumphantly To Heav’n,
And Answered, “Christ Is All.”
I Saw The Gospel Herald Go
To Afric’s Sand And Greenland’s Snow,
To Save From Satan’s Thrall;
Nor Home Nor Life He Counted Dear,
Midst Wants And Perils Owned No Fear,
He Felt That “Christ Is All.”
I Dreamed That Hoary Time Had Fled,
And Earth And Sea Gave Up Their Dead,
A Fire Dissolved This Ball;
I Saw The Church’s Ransomed Throng,
I Heard The Burden Of Their Song,
‘Twas “Christ Is All In All.”
Then Come To Christ, Oh, Come Today,
The Father, Son, And Spirit Say,
The Bride Repeats The Call;
For He Will Cleanse Your Guilty Stains,
His Love Will Soothe Your Weary Pains,
For “Christ Is All In All.”
