Author:Steele

CXCVI. Savior the only one

1 Jesus, the spring of joys divine,
Whence all my hopes and comforts flow;
Jesus, no other name but thine
Can save me from eternal woe.

2 In vain would boasting reason find
The way to happiness and God;
Her weak directions leave the mind
Bewilder'd in a dubious road.

3 No other name will heaven approve;
Thou art the true, the living way,
(Ordain'd by everlasting love,)
To the bright realms of endless day.

4 Here let my constant feet abide,
Nor from the heavenly path depart;
O let thy spirit, gracious guide,
Direct our steps, and cheer our heart.

5 Safe lead us thro' this world of night,
And bring me to the blissful plains,
The regions of unclouded light,
Where perfect joy for ever reigns.
