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.
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.
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.
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.
