I cannot hope in this or that.
I cannot ward off all despair.
What can I cling to in this 'ol life?
No, nothing but Jesus will do.
There is no gain from all this toil.
All must rot or chip away.
Everything will end it's true.
So, nothing but Jesus will do.
Seeking to gain for just ourselves
Why do you seek and strive this way?
Oh dear heart, take care to learn
Nothing but Jesus will do.
Though I obtain my hearts desire
and win the love of my fellow men
Surely, its good to lay it down
For nothing but Jesus will do.
