JESUS, MY LORD, MY GOD, MY ALL. — Lyrics
About JESUS, MY LORD, MY GOD, MY ALL.
"Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All" is one of those deeply rooted hymns that immediately brings to mind the quiet reverence of Benediction or the solemn moments right after Communion. The melody is gentle but carries a profound sense of awe, perfectly matching the text's focus on the mystery of the Eucharist. When the choir leads the congregation into the refrain—"Sweet sacrament we thee adore"—it becomes a shared act of faith, a simple but powerful declaration of love for the Real Presence.
The verses draw striking parallels that give singers a lot to reflect on. Singing about the "vast Creator" reposing in a creature's hand, just as the infant Christ rested on Mary's knee, brings the immense mystery of the altar down to a deeply human, intimate level. It is a wonderful piece for choirs to sing during Corpus Christi processions or Holy Hour, as it invites everyone in the pews to join their voices with the angels in praising the "very God" hidden in the host.
