No hope in Jesus

William Cushing • English

Primary Scripture: Ephesians 2:12

Verse 1

Oh, to have no Christ, no Savior! No Rock, no Refuge nigh! When the dark days ’round thee gather, When the storms sweep o’er the sky!

Chorus

Oh, to have no hope in Jesus! No Friend, no Light in Jesus! Oh, to have no hope in Jesus! How dark this world must be!

Verse 2

Oh, to have no Christ, no Savior! How lonely life must be! Like a sailor, lost and driven, On a wide and shoreless sea.

Chorus

Oh, to have no hope in Jesus! No Friend, no Light in Jesus! Oh, to have no hope in Jesus! How dark this world must be!

Verse 3

Oh, to have no Christ, no Savior! No hand to clasp thine own! Thro’ the dark, dark vale of shadows, Thou must press thy way alone.

Chorus

Oh, to have no hope in Jesus! No Friend, no Light in Jesus! Oh, to have no hope in Jesus! How dark this world must be!

Verse 4

Now, we pray thee, come to Jesus; His pard’ning love receive; For the Savior now is calling, And He bids thee turn and live.

Verse 5

Come to Jesus, He will save you; He is the Friend of sinners; Then, when thou hast found the Savior, How bright this world will be!
