74. Just the Love of Jesus

1 What is making life so sweet and bright to me?
Just the love of Jesus, just the love of Jesus!
What has made my soul so peaceful, pure and free?
Just the love of Jesus, my Savior!

Chorus:
Just the love of Jesus, O how sweet!
Just the love of Jesus makes my joy complete;
What will guide my soul to that safe retreat?
Just the love of Jesus, my Savior!

2 What affords me shelter when the tempest sweeps?
Just the love of Jesus, just the love of Jesus!
What, from day to day, my soul from evil keeps?
Just the love of Jesus, my Savior! [Chorus]

3 What will help me triumph in this earthly strife?
Just the love of Jesus, just the love of Jesus!
What is more to me than wealth, or fame, or life?
Just the love of Jesus, my Savior! [Chorus]

4 What will lead me safe across the silent sea?
Just the love of Jesus, just the love of Jesus!
What will be my song thro' all eternity?
Just the love of Jesus, my Savior! [Chorus]
