                    Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals.

Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, I Surrender All, by Judson W. Van DeVenter in 1896.

It is a very nice hymn, and it is one of the songs I remember singing when we first attended our current church.

If you don't know how the tune goes, look up Carrie Underwood on YouTube; she did a great job.

Now, on with the show!

The Lyrics 

Verse 1

All to Jesus I surrender, 

All to Him I freely give;

I will ever love and trust Him,

In His presence daily live.

Chorus

I surrender all,

I surrender all;

All to Thee, my blessed Savior, 

I surrender all.

Verse 2 

All to Jesus I surrender, 

Humbly at His feet I bow; 

Worldly pleasures all forsaken,

Take me, Jesus, take me now.

Chorus

I surrender all,

I surrender all;

All to Thee, my blessed Savior, 

I surrender all.

Verse 3¹

All to Jesus I surrender,

Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;

Let me feel the Holy Spirit,

Truly knowing that Thou art mine.

Chorus

I surrender all,

I surrender all;

All to Thee, my blessed Savior, 

I surrender all.

Verse 4 

All to Jesus I surrender,

Lord, I give myself to Thee;

Fill me with Thy love and power,

Let Thy blessings fall on me.

Chorus

I surrender all,

I surrender all;

All to Thee, my blessed Savior, 

I surrender all.

Verse 5

All to Jesus I surrender,

Now I feel the sacred flame;

Oh, the joy of full salvation!

Glory, glory to His name!

Chorus

I surrender all,

I surrender all;

All to Thee, my blessed Savior, 

I surrender all.

Afterwards

It really is a nice song; not among my top favorites, but I like to sing it in church.

We need to learn to surrender all to Jesus, as we tend to worry. 

A lot.

But Jesus says not to worry, because the birds of the field don't have  means to store food, but they always have enough to eat. 

And the flowers don't work for clothes, but they are prettier than a queen dressed in fine linen and silks that wealth can afford.

Not His exact words, but you get the picture.

God wants us to bring our problems to Him, so that He can help us; we need to bring every thought captive to Him, and He will help us.

I promise.

Surrender all to Jesus.

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
