All that thrills my soul...

Who can cheer the heart like Jesus,
By His presence all divine?  
True and tender, pure and precious,
O how blest to call Him mine!  

All that thrills my soul is Jesus;  
He is more than life to me;  
And the fairest of ten thousand,  
In my blessed Lord I see.  

Love of Christ so freely given.  
Grace of God beyond degree,  
Mercy higher than the heaven,  
Deeper then the deepest sea.  

All that thrills my soul is Jesus;  
He is more than life to me;  
And the fairest of ten thousand,  
In my blessed Lord I see.  

What a wonderful redemption!  
Never can a mortal know  
How my sin, tho' red like crimson,  
Can be whiter than the snow.  

All that thrills my soul is Jesus;  
He is more than life to me;  
And the fairest of ten thousand,  
In my blessed Lord I see.  

Every need His hand supplying,  
Every good in Him I see;  
On His strength divine relying,  
He is all in all to me.  

All that thrills my soul is Jesus;  
He is more than life to me;  
And the fairest of ten thousand,  
In my blessed Lord I see.  

By the crystal flowing river  
With the ransomed I will sing,  
And forever and forever  
Praise and glorify the King.

All that thrills my soul is Jesus;  
He is more than life to me;  
And the fairest of ten thousand,  
In my blessed Lord I see.

This is a new hymn that I have discovered lately. How precious are its truths! "How blest to call Him mine"

I find myself reflecting too on the phrase "He is more than life to me". I realize that my life does not always look like I am living in that mentality. My prayer today is God would give me wisdom and grace so that I will be free to say "He is more than life to me".
