Be our joyful song today,
Jesus, only Jesus;
He who took our sins away,
Jesus, only Jesus;
Name with every blessing rife,
Be our joy and hope through life,
Be our strength in every strife,
Jesus, only Jesus.
Once we wandered far from God,
Knowing not of Jesus,
Treading still the downward road,
Leading far from Jesus,
Till the Spirit taught us how,
Neath the Saviour’s yoke to bow,
And we fain would follow now,
Jesus, only Jesus.
Be our trust through years to come,
Jesus, only Jesus;
Password to the heavenly home,
Jesus, only Jesus;
When from sin and sorrow free,
On through all eternity,
This our theme and song shall be:
Jesus, only Jesus.
