Christ all, and in all

The Seventh Part. Who make Christ their all.

LEt us make Christ our all,
Let's see we him do love;
To us let all things seem but small,
Let's value him above

House or Land, Husband, Wife,
Or Children who are dear;
Nay him esteem far above Life,
And unto him adhere.

Deny all for his sake,
Exalt him evermore,
Then shall we him our all so make
We never shall be poor.

Let's live to him always
By whom we all live do,
Without him let not one soul rest
As pleas'd with things below;

To him let's give all praise,
His glory not divide,
For God did him to glory raise,
To bring down all our pride.

On Ordinances do not rest
Without you him enjoy;
Let him by us be so confest,
Let what will us annoy;

Yet hold him fast be sure,
Let all go for his sake,
And him let's love for evermore,
O thus your all him make!
