No One but Jesus

Representative Text

1 There's no one to go to but Jesus,
For pleasure and fullness of joy;
His peace passeth all understanding,
His presence will sorrow destroy.

Chorus:
No one, no one, no one my burdens to bear;
There's no one to go to but Jesus,
There's no one my sorrows to share.

2 There's no one to go to but Jesus,
When weary, when faint, and when sad;
There's no one to brighten or cheer us,
There's no one to make the heart glad. [Chorus]

3 There's no one to go to but Jesus,
When sorrows, like billows, may roll;
There's no one to carry our burdens,
There's no one to comfort the soul. [Chorus]

4 There's no one to go to but Jesus,
When death for our loved ones may call;
When trials shall gather around us,
When darkness, like midnight, shall fall. [Chorus]
