All to Jesus I surrender, All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust him, In his presence daily live.

I surrender all, I surrender all.
All to You, my Blessed Savior, I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender, Humbly at His feet I bow,
Wordly pleasures all forsaken, Take me, Jesus, take me now.
