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.
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.
3 Jesus is all the world to me, And true to Him I’ll be; Oh, 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.
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.
