You Are My All In All


This hymn is another favourite of mine. I remember there was a time when we sang this at each and every wedding.. in voices. We truly enjoyed singing this hymn so much!
Infact, I distinctly remember this being one of the first hymns I was keen on teaching my kids from the choir. So one fine Saturday morning, I was all determined to write the music for this hymn, and that is exactly what I did. They picked it up quickly, and sing it beautifully.. giving it their all. I guess it's become one of the favourites as well  :)
Thank you , Dennis Jernigan for this wonderful melody.

A lot of kids from the choir asked me for a copy of the music for the hymn. So thought of sharing it with you all as well. Hoping it will be of some help to you. 
It's written for the organ in a simple scale. Do give it a try and leave me some feedback. :)

You could use the lyrics as a ready reference, and give it a listen by clicking the Play button on the embedded youtube video. 
I've also attached the piano score for this hymn. It is quite an easy arrangement, provided you are quite comfortable playing with both your hands. 

You can download the score as a pdf attachment by clicking here.



Here are the lyrics to the hymn :

You Are My All In All


You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all

Seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool
You are my all in all

Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name

Taking my sin, my cross, my shame
Rising again I bless Your name
You are my all in all

When I fall down You pick me up
When I am dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all

Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name

Here's a preview of the sheet music for the hymn. Additionally, I've also uploaded  a printer-friendly PDF version below.
You are my all in all

Suggestions  : You could sing this hymn during communion. It would be ideal if you have a soloist do the verses, with the choir joining in for the chorus. 
Someday, when time permits I'll add a two voice arrangement for the same. :)
    



I hope you found this post useful. I would love to hear from you. If there are any hymns from the catalogue or otherwise, that you need the music for, feel  free to get in touch. I'd be more than happy to help a fellow musician :)
