I Left It All With Jesus Long Ago (Echoes of Grace Hymnbook #225)

1

I left it all with Jesus long ago;

All my sins I brought Him, and my woe.

When by faith I saw Him on the tree,

Heard His small, still whisper, "’Tis for thee,"

From my heart the burden rolled away — happy day!

2

I leave it all with Jesus, for He knows

How to steal the bitter from life’s woes;

How to gild the teardrop with His smile,

Make the desert garden bloom awhile;

When my weakness leaneth on His might, all seems light;

When my weakness leaneth on His might, all seems light.

3

I leave it all with Jesus day by day;

Faith can firmly trust Him, come what may.

Hope has dropped her anchor, found her rest

In the calm, sure haven of His breast;

Love esteems it heaven to abide at His side;

Love esteems it heaven to abide at His side.

4

Oh, leave it all with Jesus, drooping soul!

Tell not half thy story, but the whole;

Worlds on worlds are hanging on His hand,

Life and death are waiting His command;

Yet His tender bosom makes thee room — oh, come home!
