Leaving all to follow Jesus, Turning from the world away, Stepping out upon the promise, All I have is His today. Refrain Leaving all to follow Jesus, Turning from the world away, Stepping out upon His promise, All I have is His today. Naught reserving, on the altar All I lay, and wait the hour When the fire from Heaven descending Shall attest His glorious pow'r. Refrain Taking up the cross of Jesus, Glad for Him to suffer shame, All my gain I count but losses For the glory of His Name. Refrain Praise His precious Name forever That His blood hath made me free! Now my soul shall joy to tell it, Thro' the long eternity. Refrain
