| I’ve tried in vain a thousand waysMy fears to quell, my hopes to raise;
 But what I need, the Bible says,
 Is ever, only Jesus.
 My soul is night, my heart is steel—I cannot see, I cannot feel;
 For light, for life, I must appeal
 In simple faith to Jesus.
 He died, He lives, He reigns, He pleads;There’s love in all His words and deeds;
 There’s all a guilty sinner needs
 Forevermore in Jesus.
 Tho’ some should sneer, and some should blame,I’ll go with all my guilt and shame;
 I’ll go to Him because His Name,
 Above all names, is Jesus.
