1 Since Jesus my Saviour from sin rescued me,
Life's pathway shines brighter because I am free;
No harm can befall me, tho' foes should assail,
My refuge is Jesus, His love cannot fail.

Refrain:
His love cannot fail,
His love cannot fail,
There's no one like Jesus,
His love cannot fail.

2 My heart overflows with a wondrous delight,
For Jesus is with me by day and by night;
His love ever flowing, so boundless and free,
It never can fail, 'tis for you and for me. [Refrain]

3 There's no one like Jesus to comfort and bless,
There's no one like Him in the hour of distress;
He knows ev'ry trial on life's upward way.
His love cannot fail, 'tis a joy day by day. [Refrain]
