Verse 1
Jesus is all the world to me, My life, my joy, my all; He is my strength from day to day Without him I would fall When I am sad, to him I go, No other one can cheer me so When I am sad, He makes me glad, He’s my friend.
Verse 2
Jesus is all the world to me, My friend in trials sore; I go to him for blessings, and He gives them o’er and o’er He sends the sunshine and the rain, He sends the harvest’s golden grain; Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain, He’s my friend.
Verse 3
Jesus is all the world to me, And true to him I’ll be; O how could I this friend deny, When He’s so true to me? Following Him I know I’m right, He watches o’er me day and night; Following Him by day and night, He’s my friend.
Verse 4
Jesus is all the world to me, I want no better friend; I trust Him now, I’ll trust Him when Life’s fleeting days shall end. Beautiful life with such a Friend, Beautiful life that has no end; Eternal life, eternal joy, He’s my friend.
