Jesus only, when the morning
Beams upon the path I tread!
Jesus only, when the darkness
Gathers round my weary head!

Jesus only, though death’s billows,
Cold and sullen o’er me roll!
Jesus only, when the trumpet
Rends the tomb and thrills the soul!

Jesus only, when-adoring-
Saints their crowns before him bring!
Jesus only, I shall-joyous-
Through eternal ages sing!
