| O I LEFT IT WITH JESUS | IRREGULAR | James McGranahan |
|
| 1. Oh, I left it all
with Jesus, long ago
All my sins I brought Him
and my woe
When by faith I saw Him
bleeding on the tree;
Heard His still small whisper,
“’Tis for thee!”
From my weary heart
the burden rolled away;
Happy day! happy day!
From my weary heart
the burden rolled away;
Happy day! happy day!
2. Oh, I leave it all with Jesus,
for He knows
How to steal the bitter
from life’s woes,
How to gild the tear of sorrow
with His smile,
Make the desert garden
bloom awhile.
Then with all my weakness
leaning on His might,
All is light! All is light!
Then with all my weakness
leaning on His might,
All is light! All is light!
3. Oh, I leave it all with Jesus,
day by day;
Faith can firmly trust Him,
come what may;
Hope has dropped for aye
her anchor, found her rest
In the calm, sure haven
of His breast.
Love esteems it joy
of heaven to abide
At His side! At His side!
Love esteems it joy
of heaven to abide
At His side! At His side!
4. Leave, oh leave it all with Jesus,
drooping soul;
Tell not half thy story,
but the whole;
Worlds on worlds are hanging
ever on His hand,
Life and death
are waiting His command.
Yet His tender, loving mercy
makes thee room:
Oh, come home!
Oh, come home!
Yet His tender, loving mercy
makes thee room:
Oh, come home!
Oh, come home!
