Verse 1

How can I live without Jesus? My Rock and my Fortress is he; I’m trusting alone in his mercy; He ever my Saviour will be. How can I live, how can I live, How can I live without Jesus? He is my Rock, He is my Hope! How can I live without Jesus?

Verse 2

How can I bear without Jesus The storms that encompass me here? For tho’ in the darkest mid-ocean, He speaks, “It is I, do not fear.” How can I live? how can I work? How can I bear, without Jesus? He is my Strength, Comfort and Song! How can I bear without Jesus?

Verse 3

How can I hope without Jesus, For he is my bright Morning Star? His blood that hath bought my salvation, Brought me nigh who once was afar. How can I hope, how can I hope, How can I hope without Jesus? His blood alone can guilt atone; How can I hope without Jesus?

Verse 4

How can I die without Jesus? He’ll be with me unto the end; He never will leave nor forsake me, My loving, unchangeable Friend. How can I die, how can I die, How can I die without Jesus? Jesus, my Rock! Jesus, my Hope! How can I die without Jesus?
