I have giv’n up all for Jesus

The vain world is naught to me

All its pleasures are forgotten

In remembering Calvary

Though my friends despise, forsake me,

And on me the world looks cold

I’ve a Friend that will stand by me

When the pearly gates unfold.

When the voice of Jesus calls me

And the angels whisper low

I will lean upon my Saviour

Through the valley as I go

I will claim His precious promise

Worth to me the world of gold

Fear no evil, I’ll be with thee

When the pearly gates unfold.

Just beyond the waves of Jordan

Just beyond its chilling tide

Blooms the Tree of Life immortal

And the living waters glide

In that happy land of spirits

Are there stores of bliss untold

And the angels are awaiting

Where the pearly gates unfold.
