lyrics

For me to live is Jesus, 
To die is gain for me; 
So when my Savior pleases, 
I meet death willingly.

  For Christ, my Lord, my brother, 
I leave this world so dim 
And gladly seek another, 
Where I shall be with him.  

O Jesus, my life, my all 
O Jesus, my life, my all  

My woes are nearly over, 
Though long and dark the road; 
His merits my sin cover,  
And I have peace with God.  

O Jesus, my life, my all 
O Jesus, my life, my all  

In my last hour, oh, grant me
 A slumber soft and still, 
No doubts to vex or haunt me, 
Safe anchored in your will.

O Jesus, my life, my all 
O Jesus, my life, my all (2x)
