Lyrics

For sal­va­tion full and free,
Purchased once on Cal­va­ry,
Christ alone shall be my plea—
Jesus! Je­sus only.

Refrain

Jesus on­ly, let me see,
Jesus on­ly, none save He,
Then my song shall ev­er be—
Jesus! Je­sus on­ly!

He my guide from day to day,
As I jour­ney on life’s way;
Close be­side Him let me stay—
Jesus! Je­sus only.

Refrain

May my mo­del ev­er be
Christ the Lord, and none save He,
That the world may see in me
Jesus! Je­sus on­ly.

Refrain

He shall reign from shore to shore,
His the glo­ry ev­er­more—
Heav’n and earth shall bow be­fore
Jesus! Je­sus on­ly.
