Words

O, the bitter pain and sorrow,That a time could ever be,When I proudly said to Jesus,"All of self and none of thee!"All of self and none of thee,All of self and none of thee,When I proudly said to Jesus,"All of self and none of thee!"

Yet he found me; I beheld himBleeding on th' accursed tree;And my wistful heart said faintly,"Some of self and some of thee,"Some of self and some of thee,Some of self and some of thee,And my wistful heart said faintly,"Some of self and some of thee!"

Day by day his tender mercy,Healing, helping, full and free,Brought me lower, while I whispered,"Less of self and more of thee,"Less of self and more of thee,Less of self and more of thee,Brought me lower while I whispered,"Less of self and more of thee!"

Higher than the highest heavens,Deeper than the deepest sea,Lord, thy love at last has conquered,"None of self and all of thee,"None of self and all of thee,None of self and all of thee,Lord, thy love at last has conquered,"None of self and all of thee!"

About this hymn

As printed As printed: no running head on this page (it opens with the hymn); hymn number «1268» (large, left), title «"NONE OF SELF AND ALL OF THEE."» centred, in condensed capitals with larger initials «N», «S», «T», set inside double quotation marks (the period stands before the closing marks); on the next line «REV. THEO. MONOD.» at the left (the words), the epigraph «"But Christ is all and in all."—Col. 3 : 11.» in the middle (roman, old-style figures; the mark after «all» is a period with an ink speck above it) and «JAMES MCGRANAHAN.» at the right (the music) — both names in capitals and small capitals. No meter, no tune name other than the title, no reference line, no tempo word. All four stanzas are interlinear, numbered «1.»–«4.», between the staves of all four systems; there is no «CHORUS» or «REFRAIN» heading: the closing words of the stanza («All of self and none of thee» in stanza 1, changing in each stanza) are sung four times within the tune. In stanza 4 the words «None» and «all» are in italics every time (four times each); they are given here as `None` and `all`. Under the music, centred: «By permission.», and under it the folio «484». Each printed line of words carries two verse lines; they are given here one verse line per line, each beginning with a capital as printed. In stanza 3 the print has «Brought me low - er, while I whispered,» with a comma after «lower» the first time (system 2) and «Brought me low - er while I whispered,» without it the second time (system 4): both are given as printed. The print sets a thin space before «;», «!» and «:» («me ;», «tree ;», «thee !», «3 : 11»); it is closed up here; curly quotation marks and apostrophes are written straight. Words divided under the notes are joined («bit-ter», «sor-row», «ev-er», «be-held», «Bleed-ing», «ac-curs-ed», «ten-der», «mer-cy», «Heal-ing», «help-ing», «High-er», «high-est», «heav-ens», «Deep-er», «deep-est», «proud-ly», «Je-sus», «wist-ful», «faint-ly», «low-er» → «bitter», «sorrow», «ever», «beheld», «Bleeding», «accursed», «tender», «mercy», «Healing», «helping», «Higher», «highest», «heavens», «Deeper», «deepest», «proudly», «Jesus», «wistful», «faintly», «lower»); the divisions are in `lyrics_syllables.txt`. «th' ac-curs-ed» keeps its elision («th' accursed»: «th' ac-» is sung on one note). The tight setting of «Broughtme» and «heart said» in the print is not reproduced. Spelling, capitals («thee», «thy», «him», «his» in lower case) and punctuation are the print's.
