Nothing earthly meets the longing,
Nothing here can satisfy,
But the love and grace of Jesus
Meet and still each longing cry.
“Jesus only, Jesus only,”
Be my raptured song today;
“Jesus only, Jesus only,”
Jesus, Jesus all the way.
“Jesus only” on the mountain,
When my heart with rapture thrills;
“Jesus only” in the valley,
When life’s woe my spirit fills.
“Jesus only, Jesus only,”
Be my raptured song today;
“Jesus only, Jesus only,”
Jesus, Jesus all the way.
O to spend each passing moment
As in sight of His dear face!
O to show to souls in darkness
All the beauty of His grace!
“Jesus only, Jesus only,”
Be my raptured song today;
“Jesus only, Jesus only,”
Jesus, Jesus all the way.
Grace that saves me,
grace that keeps me,
Grace that helps me day by day;
Faith and hope
and peace renewing,
Lest I falter by the way.
“Jesus only, Jesus only,”
Be my raptured song today;
“Jesus only, Jesus only,”
Jesus, Jesus all the way.
