Jesus Only, Jesus Ever

Maud Fraser • English

Primary Scripture: Proverbs 18:24

Verse 1

Jesus only, mid the turmoil Of life’s weary warfare now; Jesus only, when the death-dew Gathers damp upon my brow.

Chorus

Jesus only, Jesus ever, Here is strength for ev’ry day; He’s a Friend that faileth never, His is love that lasts for aye.

Verse 2

Jesus only; let earth vanish, Take away its worthless store; I have found a truer treasure, Jesus only, nothing more.

Chorus

Jesus only, Jesus ever, Here is strength for ev’ry day; He’s a Friend that faileth never, His is love that lasts for aye.

Verse 3

Jesus only, none but Jesus, When the great white throne I see, And the judgment books are opened; Jesus only then for me.

Chorus

Jesus only, Jesus ever, Here is strength for ev’ry day; He’s a Friend that faileth never, His is love that lasts for aye.
