89. How can you Live without Jesus?

1 O how can you live without Jesus, my friend,
That Saviour so tender and true,
Whose love knows no measure, no change, and no end,
Who offers it freely to you?

Refrain:
How can you? how can you?
O how without Him can you live or die?
O come; believe; salvation receive;
And praise Him forever on high.

2 O how can you live without Jesus alone?
‘Tis He bears our burdens away;
No other escape; His own blood must atone;
His life must your penalty pay. [Refrain]

3 He’s all that you need; He entreats you to come;
He calls you in mercy today;
Tomorrow may seal your eternity’s doom;
There’s danger and death in delay. [Refrain]
