Nothing but the name of Jesus
Can avail in danger’s hour
Nothing but the name of Jesus,
When the clouds of trouble lower;
Only through the blood of Jesus
Can the guilty soul have peace;
Only through the blood of Jesus
Satan’s captives find release.
Dying sinner, look to Jesus,
Once upon the cross for thee;
Think upon the Saviour, Jesus,
Stretched and nailed upon the tree!
Every mark of dark dishonor
Heaped upon His thorn crowned brow!
There, oh, read the wondrous story
Of His cross, its shame and woe!
Sinner, hear the matchless story:
Listen simply and believe;
From the risen Lord in glory,
Life, eternal life, receive;
Jesus died, that condemnation
No believer e’er should know;
Now He lives, and God’s salvation
Is our portion here below.
Dost thou love the name of Jesus?
Wilt thou trust thyself to Him?
Canst thou say, "My Saviour, Jesus,"
Though thy weeping eyes are dim?
Fear not then! the blood of Jesus
Brings thy ransomed soul to God,
And the mighty arm of Jesus
Will support thee on the road.
