Representative Text

1 No one, save Jesus only,
Can bear my sins away;
No one, save Jesus only,—
And unto Him I pray;
No one can cleanse this heart of sin,
And make it white as snow.

Refrain:
No one, save Jesus only,
No one, save Jesus only,
No one, save Jesus only,—
And unto Him I go.

2 No one, save Jesus only,
Can purify my soul;
No one, save Jesus only,
Can make my spirit whole;
No one can fit it for the skies,
Or duty here below; [Refrain]

3 No one, save Jesus only,
Can bear my soul above;
No one, save Jesus only,
Can fill it with His love;
No one can make its happiness
As streams eternal flow. [Refrain]
