‘Jesus only.’

[_]

Matt. xvii. 8.

I

‘Jesus only!’ In the shadow
Of the cloud so chill and dim,
We are clinging, loving, trusting,
He with us, and we with Him;
All unseen, though ever nigh,
‘Jesus only’—all our cry.

II

‘Jesus only!’ In the glory,
When the shadows all are flown,
Seeing Him in all His beauty,
Satisfied with Him alone;
May we join His ransomed throng,
‘Jesus only’—all our song!
