Jesus is all the world to me: My life, my joy, my all. He is my strength from day to day; Without Him I would fall. When I am sad, to Him I go; No other one can cheer me so. When I am sad, He makes me glad; He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, I want no better friend. I trust Him now; I’ll trust Him when Life’s fleeting days shall end. Beautiful life with such a Friend; Beautiful life that has no end! Eternal life, eternal joy, He’s my Friend.
I was raised on this song. It was beautiful then when we sang it in church services, in the field chopping/picking cotton, gardening (my mother and my grandmother), or just sitting on the porch on a quiet summer's day. I am 67 and I often fall asleep singing, humming or thinking this song. Blessed to have it in my heart.
I listened wholeheartedly to it in the still small hours of the day. What a comfort and exhortation, the whole hymn is, especially in the 3rd verse, "And true to Him I'll be", which is my commitment! As I am now traveling in this wonderful world of His "when life's fleeting days shall end", verse 4 is my comfort. I thank my Lord for Will L. Thompson for such a lovely hymn.
