Nothing I Want But Jesus

Author: L. R. O. Hymnal: Pentecostal Jewels #25 (1945) First Line: While in this world of sorrow Refrain First Line: There's nothing I want but Jesus Lyrics: 1 While in this world of sorrow I see a path well laid; For pilgrims and for strangers This narrow path is made; Tho very rough the journey, It leads to endless day, Where we shall all see Jesus, The Life, the Truth, the Way. Chorus: There’s nothing I want but Jesus, Nothing apart from Him; There’s nothing I want but Jesus, Who sav’d me from my sin; There’s nothing I want but Jesus, Jesus alone within; There’s nothing I want but Jesus, Abiding my heart within. 2 O blessed life in Jesus! His joy with us He shares; My spirit now rejoices, Forgetting all her cares; By faith I scan the heavens And see my Jesus there; He says, “My child, be faithful Till you my glory share.” [Chorus] 3 “Go forward” still the watchword While in this land I roam; I look for His appearing When He will bear me home; The coming of my Savior Is drawing ever nigh; And soon I shall behold Him, And reign with Him on high. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [While in this world of sorrow]
