Christ, All in All. |
 | Prison-Pietie |  |
Christ, All in All.
Christ is the Rock on which my Faith must build;Christ is the Staff on which I safe may lean;
Christ is for my defence the safest Shield;
Christ is the Fountain that must wash me clean.
Who builds not on that Rock, doth build on Sand;
Who leans from him, trusts to a broken Reed;
He falls that fights not under his Command;
His Blood alone doth make me clean indeed.
Christ cleanses, saves, supports my feet from fall:
He is my only Rock, my All in All.
Lord, to my Soul such Heav'nly Grace impart,
Thou may'st be Lord and Tenant of my heart.
