Tune:[Would you be this day made whole]
Composer:Hubert Platt Main

3235. Jesus, Jesus Only

1. Would you be this day made whole,
Freedom gain from sin’s control?
Jesus can redeem your soul—
Jesus, Jesus only.

Refrain
In the darkness do not live,
Be not sad or lonely;
Jesus, light and joy can give—
Jesus, Jesus only.

2. Jesus tenderly will lead,
Give you grace for all your need,
And your cause in Heaven plead—
Jesus, Jesus only. [Refrain]

3. Oh, what friend can love us so?
Who, like Him, our hearts can know,
Who hath borne our ev’ry woe?
Jesus, Jesus only. [Refrain]

4. He alone our souls can guide
Over death’s dark, swelling tide,
Home at last, and by His side—
Jesus, Jesus only. [Refrain]
