I take Thee, Lord, to be my all. Since all Thou art is mine; I nothing have, and nothing am; That nothing, Lord, is Thine. Thou shalt be everything to me In all things my sufficiency.
I never really thought of connecting the Lord's coming Kingdom with peace. I am glad that this verse exists. O Lord may I be empty and counted as nothing that nothing may be thine Lord and You as everything to me, in all things my sufficiency.
I can release my spirit singing this hidden gem to this new tune. We had to sing it 3 or 4 times for the Lord’s table. The saints kept asking to sing it again.

What a wonderful experiential hymn. It is so good to be sung to this new tune, as the original tune is dirge-like.
