Tune: | [What could we do without Jesus?] |
Composer: | Knowles Shaw |
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?
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. [Chorus]
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? [Chorus]
