1. Nothing earthly meets the longing,
Nothing here can satisfy;
But the love and grace of Jesus,
Meet and still each longing cry.
Chorus:
“Jesus Only! Jesus only!”
Be my raptured song today;
“Jesus only! Jesus only!”
“Jesus! Jesus!” all the way.
2. “Jesus only!” on the mountain,
When my heart with rapture thrills;
“Jesus only!” in the valley,
When life’s woe my spirit fills.
3. O to spend each passing moment
As in sight of his dear face!
O to show to souls in darkness
All the beauty of his grace!
4. Grace that saves me, grace that keeps me,
Grace that helps me day by day;
Faith and hope and peace renewing,
Lest I falter by the way.
5. Jesus, Savior, thou hast bought me,
Thou hast sealed me for thine own;
Hold me, guard me, and direct me,
Till thou callest “Child, come home.”
