Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All by Frederick William Faber — Lyrics

VERSE 1 Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all, How can I love thee as I ought? And how revere this wondrous gift, So far surpassing hope or thought? VERSE 2 Had I but Mary's sinless heart, To love Thee with, my dearest King; O! with what bursts of fervent praise, Thy goodness Jesus would I sing. VERSE 3 O, see, within a creature's hand, The vast creator deigns to be, Reposing infant like, as though On Joseph's arm, on Mary's knee.

About Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All

"Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All" is a deeply reverent Eucharistic hymn that captures the awe of standing before the Blessed Sacrament. The text marvels at the profound mystery of Christ's presence, asking how we could ever love Him as we ought in the face of such a wondrous gift. It carries a quiet, adoring energy that naturally draws a congregation into a space of prayer and reflection.

In our parishes, this piece is a staple for moments of profound stillness, especially during Communion or at Benediction and Eucharistic Adoration. The verses build a sense of wonder—comparing the host in a creature's hand to the infant Christ on Mary's knee—before resolving into the familiar, soaring plea of the chorus: "Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore."

Singing this hymn feels like a shared act of devotion. The melody is gentle yet firm, allowing the choir and the assembly to unite their voices in a simple, earnest prayer. It reminds everyone in the pews of the vastness of God's love, contained entirely in the humble form of the Eucharist, prompting a genuine desire to love Him more and more.
