JESUS, all-atoning Lamb,By A Collection of Hymns 7s. 1 JESUS, all-atoning Lamb, Thine, and only thine, I am; Take my body, spirit, soul; Only thou possess the whole.
2 Thou my one thing needful be; Let me ever cleave to thee; Let me choose the better part; Let me give thee all my heart. 3 Fairer than the sons of men, Do not let me turn again, Leave the fountain-head of bliss, Stoop to creature-happiness. 4 Whom have I on earth below? Thee, and only thee, I know; Whom have I in heaven but thee? Thou art all in all to me. 5 All my treasure is above, All my riches is thy love: Who the worth of love can tell? Infinite, unsearchable! 6 Thou, O love, my portion art: Lord, thou know'st my simple heart! Other comforts I despise, Love be all my paradise. 7 Nothing else can I require, Love fills up my whole desire; All thy other gifts remove, Still thou giv'st me all in love!
