Jesus only! Let the vision
In its glory pass away;
Vanish all the light Elysian!
’Tis enough if Jesus stay.
Jesus only! Jesus only!
Can my inmost soul now say:
Jesus only! Jesus only!
’Tis enough if Jesus stay.
When we leave the height of Tabor
For earth’s valleys dim and cold
’Mid life’s toil and care and labor
Only Jesus can uphold.
When our path seems dark and lonely
Comforts failing poor and sad
Friends estranged
with Jesus only
We are rich
and full and glad.
