Crowning Day No. 3 ‎#7

7. Jesus Only

1 “Jesus only!” this the watchword,
Guiding, like a star my way;
He the friend that walks beside me,
Cheering ev’ry passing day.

Refrain:
“Jesus only!” “Jesus only!”
He the dearest friend, and best;
Having Him to walk beside me,
Oh, my soul is truly blest.

2 “Jesus only!” when the sunshine
Floods with gold the way I go;
Then He is to me the dearer,
For the joy He doth bestow. [Refrain]

3 “Jesus only!” when the shadows
Darkly o’er my pathway fall,
He the light that shines in darkness,
He my Saviour and my all. [Refrain]

4 “Jesus only!” when I’m sinking
Into the embrace of death;
He, my Saviour, will be with me
To my last expiring breath. [Refrain]
