Once, It Was The Blessing,
Now It Is The Lord;
Once It Was The Feeling,
Now It Is His Word;
Once His Gifts I Wanted,
Now The Giver Own;
Once, I Sought For Healing,
Now Himself Alone.
All In All For Ever,
Jesus Will I Sing;
Everything In Jesus,
And Jesus Every Thing.
Once ‘Twas Painful Trying,
Now ‘Tis Perfect Trust;
Once A Half Salvation,
Now The Uttermost;
Once ‘Twas Ceaseless Holding,
Now He Holds Me Fast;
Once ‘Twas Constant Drifting,
Now My Anchor’s Cast.
All In All For Ever,
Jesus Will I Sing;
Everything In Jesus,
And Jesus Every Thing.
Once ‘Twas Busy Planning,
Now ‘Tis Trustful Prayer;
Once ‘Twas Anxious Caring,
Now He Has The Care;
Once ‘Twas What I Wanted,
Now What Jesus Says;
Once ‘Twas Constant Asking,
Now ‘Tis Ceaseless Praise.
All In All For Ever,
Jesus Will I Sing;
Everything In Jesus,
And Jesus Every Thing.
Once It Was My Working,
His It Hence Shall Be;
Once I Tried To Use Him,
Now He Uses Me;
Once The Power I Wanted,
Now The Mighty One;
Once For Self I Laboured,
Now For Him Alone.
