I Surrender All

18 February 2003

Life can get awfully overwhelming from time to time. Even people of great faith find periods of real challenge. Dating to the 19th century, here are words of comfort:

I SURRENDER ALL
Words by Judson W. Van DeVenter, 1896
Music by Winfield S. Weeden, 1896

All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In his presence daily live.

I surrender all, I surrender all;
All to thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.

All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me Jesus, take me now.

I surrender all, I surrender all;
All to thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
