Hymns 7 - Himself текст песни

Once it was the blessing,
Now it is the Lord;
Once it was the feeling,
Now it is His Word;
Once His gift I wanted,
Now, the Giver own;
Once I sought for healing,
Now Himself alone.

Refrain

All in all forever,
Jesus will I sing;
Everything in Jesus,
And Jesus everything.

Once ???twas painful trying,
Now ???tis perfect trust;
Once a half salvation,
Now the uttermost;
Once ???twas ceaseless holding,
Now He holds me fast;
Once ???twas constant drifting,
Now my anchor???s cast.

Refrain

Once ???twas busy planning,
Now ???tis trustful prayer;
Once ???twas anxious caring,
Now He has the care;
Once ???twas what I wanted,
Now what Jesus says;
Once ???twas constant asking,
Now ???tis ceaseless praise.

Refrain

Once it was my working,
His it hence shall be;
Once I tried to use Him,
Now He uses me;
Once the pow???r I wanted,
Now the Mighty One;
Once for self I labored,
Now for Him alone.

Refrain

Once I hoped in Jesus,
Now I know He???s mine;
Once my lamps were dying,
Now they brightly shine;
Once for death I waited,
Now His coming hail;
And my hopes are anchored
Safe within the veil.

Refrain
