Author: E. O. E. Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #248 (1916) First Line: In vain I've tried a thousand ways Lyrics: 1 In vain I've tried a thousand ways
My fears to quell, my hope to raise,
But what I need thro' all my days
Is Jesus, is Jesus.
2 My soul is night, my heart is steel,
I cannot see, I cannot feel;
For light, for life, I must appeal
To Jesus, to Jesus.
3 He died for me, He lives, He pleads,
There's love in all His words and deeds;
There's all a guilty sinner needs
In Jesus, in Jesus.
4 Tho' some will scorn, and some will blame,
I'll go with all my guilt and shame,
I'll go to Him because His name
Is Jesus, is Jesus. Languages: English Tune Title: [In vain I've tried a thousand ways]
Because His Name is Jesus
