1
All things are possible to him
That can in Jesus’ name believe:
Lord, I no more thy truth blaspheme,
Thy truth I lovingly receive;
I can, I do believe in Thee,
All things are possible to me.
2.
The most impossible of all
Is, that I e’er from sin should cease;
Yet shall it be, I know it shall;
Jesus, look to Thy faithfulness!
If nothing is too hard for thee,
All things are possible to me.
3.
I without sin on earth shall live,
Ev’n I, the chief of sinners I:
Thy glory, Lord, to thee I give,
O God of truth, thou canst not lie;
What thou hast said shall surely be:
All things are possible to me.
4.
Though earth and hell the word gainsay,
The word of God can never fail;
The Lamb shall take my sins away,
‘Tis certain, though impossible;
The thing impossible shall be,
All things are possible to me.
5.
When thou the work of faith hast wrought,
I here shall in Thine image shine,
Nor sin in deed, or word, or thought;
Let men exclaim, and fiends repine,
They cannot break the firm decree;
All things are possible to me.
6.
The unchangeable decree is past,
The sure predestinating word,
That I, who on my Lord am cast,
I shall be like my sinless Lord;
‘Twas fixed from all eternity:
All things are possible to me.
7.
Thy mouth, O Lord, hath spoke, hath sworn
That I shall serve Thee without fear,
Shall find the pearl which others spurn,
Holy, and pure, and perfect here,
The servant as his Lord shall be;
All things are possible to me.
8.
All things are possible to God,
To Christ, the power of God in man,
To me, when I am all renewed,
When I in Christ am born again,
And witness, from all sin set free,
All things are possible to me.
