Text Source:  J. A. Freylinghausen's Neues Geistreiches Gesangbuch, Halle, Germany, 1704
​Composer: Jakob Hintze, 1678 (1622-1703)​

​1. Not of earth and not of heaven
    Is my thought and my desire;
    I wish that to me be given
    Jesus Christ, whom I admire.
    Be my heart His habitation,
    Gift of highest valuation;
    Jesus Christ, my Lord, shall be
    All and ev’rything to me!
 
2. When my soul and body languish,
    Doubts and fears upon me press,
    Yet my heart shall feel no anguish,
    For Christ’s love does me refresh.
    He’s my joy and consolation
    In my fear and tribulation.
    Jesus Christ, my Lord, shall be
    All and ev’rything to me!
 
3. In my weakness He’s my power;
    In the darkness He’s my light;
    And when good deeds are accomplished,
    It is only through His might.
    What good things my heart desires,
    It in Jesus Christ acquires.
    Oh, the joy that He shall be
    All and ev’rything to me!
 
4. What a great and heav’nly blessing,
    Loving Jesus Christ alone!
    All the precious gifts possessing
    Which God sends unto His own.
    Only through our Lord and Saviour
    Comes each heav’nly gift and favor.
    Jesus Christ, my Lord, shall be
    All and ev’rything to me!

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when so many other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!
Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
