What Could We Do Without Jesus?

Verse 1

What could we do without Jesus? What could the children do? With the long pathway before them, Hidden from mortal view; How could their footsteps be guided? Surely their feet would stray, But that the merciful Savior Tenderly leads the way.

Chorus

What could we do without Jesus? What could we do? where could we fly? What could we do without Jesus, When we are called to die?

Verse 2

What could we do without Jesus? What could the sinner do? Where could he go for salvation? Who could his heart renew? No other name has been given; Only his blood can atone; Sinners can trust but in Jesus, Claiming no worth their own.

Verse 3

What could we do without Jesus? What could the Christian do? Is there a friend or a brother Equally kind and true? In the dark hour of temptation, In the dread hour of pain, What but the mercy of Jesus Can our sad hearts sustain?
