1 My only hope must be in Jesus,
To lose the burden of my sin;
There is no other pow’r to help me,
Anew tin Christ I must begin.

Refrain:
There is no other Savior given,
No other hope beyond the grave;
No other Name in earth or heaven,
My guilty dying soul to save.

2 My only hope must be in Jesus,
For cleansing by His precious blood;
My faith must build upon His promise,
Whose truth all trial has withstood. [Refrain]

3 My only hope must be in Jesus,
No other Friend of love divine;
No other sacrifice beside Him,
Who made such great salvation mine. [Refrain]
