Lyrics

Jesus only is our message,
Jesus all our theme shall be;
We will lift up Je­sus ever,
Jesus only will we see.

Refrain

Jesus only, Je­sus ever,
Jesus all in all we sing,
Savior, sanctifier, and healer,
Glorious Lord and coming king.

Jesus only is our Sav­ior,
All our guilt He bore away,
All our right­eous­ness He gives us,
All our strength from day to day.

Refrain

Jesus is our sanctifier,
Cleansing us from self and sin,
And with all His Spi­rit’s fullness,
Filling all our hearts within.

Refrain

Jesus only is our healer,
All our sicknesses He bare,
And His ris­en life and fullness,
All His members still may share.

Refrain

Jesus only is our power,
He the gift of Pentecost,
Jesus, breathe Thy power upon us,
Fill us with the Holy Ghost.

Refrain

And for Je­sus we are waiting,
Listening for the advent call;
But ’twill still be Je­sus only,
Jesus ever, all in all.
