Lyrics

No oth­er name but Je­sus,
Before the throne I plead;
No oth­er friend but Je­sus,
For me can in­ter­cede.

Refrain

I’ll praise Him while I live;
My dai­ly song shall be,
I love my bless­èd Sav­ior,
Because He first loved me.

No ear like that of Je­sus
Can hear me when I pray;
No hand like that of Je­sus,
Can smooth life’s de­vi­ous way.

Refrain

No words like those of Je­sus
Can give me joy and rest;
No love like that of Je­sus
Can make me tru­ly blest.

Refrain

Forever and for­ev­er,
While all the ag­es roll,
His name shall be my watch­word,
His glo­ry fill my soul.
