The hymn "I surrender all" was published in 1896 by American art teacher and musician Judson Van DeVenter (1855-1939).

In his words: For some time, I had struggled between developing my talents in the field of art and going into full-time evangelistic work. At last the pivotal hour of my life came, and I surrendered all. A new day was ushered into my life. I became an evangelist and discovered down deep in my soul a talent hitherto unknown to me. God had hidden a song in my heart, and touching a tender chord, He caused me to sing. Wikipedia

This is hymn #407 in the hymnal.

Judson Van DeVenter was born in Michigan and later worked as an art teacher in Sharon, PA.

He was active in the Methodist Episcopal Church.

The melody is by Winfield Weeden (1847-1908).

14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. [kjv]

In His presence daily live.

Truly know that Thou art mine.

Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
