I left it all with Jesus long ago;

Ellen H. Willis (1876)

3 Verses Faith & Trust

Verse 1

I left it all with Jesus long ago; All my sins I brought Him, and my woe: When by faith I saw Him on the tree, Heard His still, small whisper, Tis for thee, From my heart the burden rolled away: Happy day! From my heart the burden rolled away: Happy day!

Verse 2

I leave it all with Jesus, for He knows How to steal the bitter from life's woes; How to gild the tear-drop with His smile, Make the desert garden bloom awhile: When my weakness leaneth on His might All seems light. When my weakness leaneth on His might All seems light.

Verse 3

I leave it all with Jesus day by day; Faith can firmly trust Him, come what may: Hope has dropped her anchor, found her rest In the calm, sure haven of His breast; Love esteems it heaven to abide At His side. Love esteems it heaven to abide At His side.
