Representative Text

1 Jesus only, mid the turmoil
Of life’s weary warfare now;
Jesus only, when the death-dew
Gathers damp upon my brow.

Refrain:
Jesus only, Jesus ever,
Here is strength for ev’ry day;
He’s a Friend that faileth never,
His is love that lasts for aye.

2 Jesus only; let earth vanish,
Take away its worthless store;
I have found a truer treasure,
Jesus only, nothing more. [Refrain]

3 Jesus only, none but Jesus,
When the great white throne I see,
And the judgment books are opened;
Jesus only then for me. [Refrain]
