Lyrics

Jesus is mine, He ne­ver will for­sake me;
Jesus is mine, no ev­il can o’er­take me;
I seek His kind­ly face,
I trust Him for His grace;
O no, He ne­ver will for­sake me.
No, no, no, He ne­ver will for­sake me;
No, no, no, no ev­il can o’er­take me;
His love will ev­er last,
Till all of earth is past;
O no, He ne­ver will for­sake me.

Jesus is mine, He ne­ver will de­ceive me;
Jesus is mine, His words shall ne­ver grieve me;
I know His love is true,
And what He says, He’ll do;
O no, He ne­ver will de­ceive me.
No, no, no, He ne­ver will de­ceive me;
No, no, no, His words shall ne­ver grieve me;
I know His love is true,
And what He says, He’ll do;
O no, He ne­ver will de­ceive me.

Jesus is mine, He ne­ver will de­sert me;
Jesus is mine, no grief can ev­er hurt me;
For on His throb­bing breast
I can most sweet­ly rest;
O no, He ne­ver will de­sert me.
No, no, no, He ne­ver will de­sert me;
No, no, no, no grief can ev­er hurt me;
For on His throb­bing breast
I can most sweet­ly rest;
O no, He ne­ver will de­sert me.

Jesus is mine, He ne­ver will re­ject me;
Jesus is mine, His blood will e’er pro­tect me;
And when be­fore the throne,
I shall not stand alone,
O no, He ne­ver will re­ject me.
No, no, no, He ne­ver will re­ject me;
No, no, no, His blood will e’er pro­tect me;
And when be­fore His throne,
I shall not stand alone;
No, no, He ne­ver will re­ject me.
