Lyrics to the hymn, Jesus Paid It All


 
Quaint little country side


   

    Introduction


Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Jesus Paid It All, by  Elvina M. Hall in 1865.

It is, like most hymns, about how Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins.

If you don't know how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Kaleb Brasee, a piano player; he does a good job, and it is good background music.



Now, as I have nothing else to add, on with show!


        The Lyrics 

Verse 1 

I hear the Savior say, 

"Thy strength indeed is small; 

Child of weakness, watch and pray,

Find in Me thine all in all."

Chorus

Jesus paid it all, 

All to Him I owe;

Sin had left a crimson stain,     

He washed it white as snow.

Verse 2 

For nothing good have I,

Whereby Thy grace to claim;

I'll wash my garments white,

In the blood of Calv'ry's Lamb.

Chorus

Jesus paid it all, 

All to Him I owe; 

Sin had left a crimson stain, 

He washed it white as snow.

Verse 3 

And now complete in Him,

My robe, His righteousness,

Close sheltered 'neath His side,

I am divinely blest.

Chorus

Jesus paid it all, 

All to Him I owe;

Sin had left a crimson stain, 

He washed it white as snow.

Verse 4

Lord, now indeed I find

Thy pow'r, and Thine alone, 

Can change the leper's spots,

And melt the heart of stone.

Chorus

Jesus paid it all, 

All to Him I owe;

Sin had left a crimson stain,

He washed it white as snow.

Verse 5

When from my dying bed

My ransomed soul shall rise,

"Jesus died my soul to save," 

Shall rend the vaulted skies.

Chorus

Jesus paid it all, 

All to Him I owe; 

Sin had left a crimson stain,

He washed it white as snow.

Verse 6

And when before the throne

I stand in Him complete,

I'll lay my trophies down,

All down at Jesus' feet.

Chorus

Jesus paid it all, 

Al to him I owe;

Sin had left a crimson stain, 

He washed it white as snow.


     Afterwards

It was a lot longer than I thought it was, but that is fine by me.

Mrs. Elvina M. Hall wrote it in church, letting her mind wander as the pastor preached; afterwards, she presented the poem to the pastor, who helped her put it some music someone else had written, and ta-da, the hymn that thousands of believers love.

Picture of the sun

If there is a subject that you want me to cover, let me know down in the comments, so that I can do my best to answer.

I update on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Random Chatty Days.

Goodbye, and God bless.

Lyrics to the hymn, This Is My Father's world

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
