1 Have you no word for Jesus?
Never a word to say?
Tho’ He has led you so gently
All of the way?
Never a word of His kindness?
Never a word of His peace?
Guarding and guiding you ever,
Giving from sin release?

Refrain:
Have you no word for Jesus?
Never a word to say?
Tho’ He has led you so gently,
Oh, have you no word to say?

2 Have you no word for Jesus?
Never a word to say?
Tho’ He has loved you so freely,
All of the way?
Seldom a word of His mercy,
Often no word of His love,
Tho’ it is flowing so freely
From the full fount above. [Refrain]

3 Have you no word for Jesus?
Never a word to say?
Tho’ He has carried your sorrows
All of the way?
Never a word of His comfort?
Never a word of His cheer?
Never a word for Jesus,
Our Saviour and Friend so dear? [Refrain]
