Now just a word for Je­sus;
Your dear­est friend so true;
Come, cheer our hearts and tell us
What He hath done for you.

Refrain

Now just a word for Je­sus,
’Twill help us on our way!
One lit­tle word for Je­sus,
Oh speak, or sing, or pray!

Now just a word for Je­sus;
You feel your sins for­giv­en,
And by His grace are striv­ing
To reach a home in Hea­ven.

Refrain

Now just a word for Je­sus;
A cross it can­not be
To say, I love my Sav­ior
Who gave His life for me.

Refrain

Now just a word for Je­sus;
Let not the time be lost;
The heart’s ne­glect­ed du­ty
Brings sor­row, to its cost.

Refrain

Now just a word for Je­sus;
And if your faith be dim;
Arise in all your weak­ness
And leave the rest to Him.
