I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by Me.
John 14:6
Words: Maud F. Jackson, 1907. Some hymnals give the lyricist as Maud Frazer (her pseudonym or maiden name, apparently).
Music: Hubert P. Main (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know where to get a good photo of Jackson (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
Would you be this day made whole,
Freedom gain from sin’s control?
Jesus can redeem your soul—
Jesus, Jesus only.
Refrain
In the darkness do not live,
Be not sad or lonely;
Jesus, light and joy can give—
Jesus, Jesus only.
Jesus tenderly will lead,
Give you grace for all your need,
And your cause in Heaven plead—
Jesus, Jesus only.
Refrain
Oh, what friend can love us so?
Who, like Him, our hearts can know,
Who hath borne our ev’ry woe?
Jesus, Jesus only.
Refrain
He alone our souls can guide
Over death’s dark, swelling tide,
Home at last, and by His side—
Jesus, Jesus only.
