Jesus is all the world to me by Will Lamartine Thompson — Lyrics
1 Jesus is all the world to me,
My life, my joy, my all;
He is my strength from day to day,
Without him I would fall:
When I am sad, to him I go,
No other one can cheer me so;
When I am sad, he makes me glad,
He's my friend.
2 Jesus is all the world to me,
My friend in trials sore;
I go to him for blessings, and
He gives them o'er and o'er:
He sends the sunshine and the rain,
He sends the harvest's golden grain;
Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,
He's my friend.

About Jesus is all the world to me
This SATB arrangement of the hymn Jesus is all the world to me captures the devotional spirit of its English text. The music mirrors the lyrical sentiment, with the voices often moving in homophonic textures to emphasize the simple, direct message of faith and reliance on Christ. The composer builds to moments of rich harmonic fullness, reflecting the assurance and joy found in the relationship described in the lyrics. This sacred piece is ideal for choirs seeking to present familiar hymnody with heartfelt expression, offering a comforting and uplifting message to both singers and listeners. The interplay of the vocal parts aims to create a sense of unified devotion.
