Author: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3824 First Line: Living for Jesus, only for Jesus Refrain First Line: O the love of Jesus! Lyrics: 1. Living for Jesus, only for Jesus,
Striving in wisdom daily to grow,
Telling His goodness, seeking His glory,
Onward to Canaan, joyful I go;
Doubts may befall me, trials oppress me,
He is my Buckler, strong to defend;
Bright is the prospect, pleasant the journey;
Jesus will lead me safe to the end.
Refrain
O the love of Jesus!
Wondrous love of Jesus!
I will exalt Him forevermore.
2. Living for Jesus, only for Jesus,
Always forgiving, gentle and mild;
Patient in labor, trusting His promise,
Learning my duty, meek as a child;
When I am hungry, Jesus will feed me,
He is my Shepherd, He is my Guide;
When I am thirsty, He will refresh me,
All that is needful He will provide. [Refrain]
3. Living for Jesus, only for Jesus—
Blessèd employment, blessèd reward!
Crowns in His kingdom wait for the faithful;
There shall the weary rest in the Lord;
Welcome, O welcome toil and affliction!
He is my Anchor steadfast and sure;
Glory to Jesus, glory to Jesus!
I shall behold Him, spotless and pure. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Living for Jesus, only for Jesus]
