What is Jesus to Me?

By MRS. MARY H. WILLIAMS

MRS. MARY H. WILLIAMS
O WORLD'S Redeemer, Priest, and King! O Lamb of Calvary! All Christendom thy praises sing; But what are thou to me?
Art thou my Saviour, Friend, and Guide, The Bread of Life to me? Are all my wants in thee supplied? Do I abide in thee?
Do I with patient heart endure The straitness of the way? Ah, flowery paths so oft allure, And tempt my feet to stray!
But oh, amid life's storms, in fear Of ills that compass me, Thou, Lord, my strong high tower, art near; For refuge there I flee!
How sweet to know, in heaven, where Our great high priest thou art, Still, like an ephod, thou dost bear Our names upon thy heart!
Before God's throne plead thou our cause, And in the soul's distress Replace the guilt of broken laws With thine own righteousness.
My soul's refiner! cleanse thou me, Enduring grace impart, Till thine own image thou canst see Reflected in my heart.
Would I for rarest gift of earth Exchange this hope in thee? Ah! now I know thy priceless worth, Thou'rt everything to me.
