Be our joy­ful song to­day,
Jesus, on­ly Je­sus,
He who took our sins away,
Jesus, on­ly Je­sus;
Name with ev­ery bless­ing rife,
Be our joy and hope thro’ life,
Be our strength in ev­ery strife,
Jesus, on­ly Je­sus.

Once we wan­dered far from God,
Knowing not of Je­sus,
Treading still the down­ward road,
Leading far from Je­sus.
Till the Spir­it taught us how,
’Neath the Sav­ior’s yoke to bow,
And we fain would fol­low now,
Jesus, on­ly Je­sus.

Be our trust thro’ years to come,
Jesus, on­ly Je­sus.
Password to the heav’n­ly home,
Jesus, on­ly Je­sus;
When from sin and sor­row free,
On thro’ all eter­ni­ty,
This our theme and song shall be,
Jesus, on­ly Je­sus.
