78. Only in Jesus

1 Only in Jesus my heart is at rest;
Only in Him can my spirit be blest;
Only on Him ev’ry burden I roll;
He is the fountain of life to my soul.

Refrain:
Only in Jesus my hope shall be,
In life and in eternity;
Only in Jesus would I abide,
Till in His presence I’m satisfied.

2 Only in Jesus forgiveness is found;
Grace that in trials much more shall abound;
peace amid conflict and joy amid pain,
Turning earth losses to heavenly gain. [Refrain]

3 Only in Jesus salvation is mine;
Light that for guidance will steadily shine;
Pow’r for His service, His word to obey,
Strength that forever shall be as my stay. [Refrain]
