Jesus Only

Representative Text

1 "Jesus only," is the motto
Now engraven on my shield;
Where he leads me I will follow,
Fighting bravely on the field;
Weak and tempted, weak and tempted,
Thro' his strength I'll never yield.

2 "Jesus only," when I'm doubtful,
Can my feeble faith make strong;
Only He can wisely counsel,
Make me right where I've been wrong.
He's my Saviour,
Praises loud to Him belong.

3 "Jesus only," with thanksgiving
All my care on Him I roll,
With His peace, past understanding,
He now "arrisons" my soul.
Blest Redeemer!
Glad I yield to His control.

4 "Jesus only," let His praises
Sound to earth's remotest shore,
Souls from sin and shame He raises,
Saves them by His mighty power
Hallelujah!
Love and trust Him evermore.
