Jesus Only (Kirkland)

lyricist: Flora Kirkland, 1899
Composer: William Kirkpatrick

Nothing earth­ly meets the long­ing

Nothing here can sa­tis­fy

But the love and grace of Je­sus

Meet and still each long­ing cry.

Je­sus on­ly

Je­sus on­ly

Be my rap­tured song to­day;

Jesus on­ly

Je­sus on­ly

Jesus

Je­sus all the way.

Jesus on­ly on the mount­ain

When my heart with rap­ture thrills;

Jesus on­ly in the val­ley

When life’s woe my spir­it fills.

O to spend each pass­ing mo­ment

As in sight of His dear face!

O to show to souls in dark­ness

All the beau­ty of His grace!

Grace that saves me

grace that keeps me

Grace that helps me day by day;

Faith and hope and peace re­new­ing

Lest I fal­ter by the way.

Jesus

Sav­ior

Thou hast bought me

Thou hast sealed me for Thine own;

Hold me

guard me

and di­rect me

Till Thou call­est

Child

come home.
