I
YOU HAVE TRIED THE PATH OF WORLDLY PLEASURE
SOUGHT FOR PEACE THE WORLD CAN NEVER GIVE
OH BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU PLACE YOUR TREASURES
YOU NEED ONE TO TEACH YOU HOW TO LIVE.
II
AS YOU WALK ALONG IN SILENCE THINKING
HOW YOU MEET WITH FAILURES ON THE WAY.
E'ER YOUR SOUL IN DEEP DESPAIR IS SINKING
YOU NEED ONE WHOM WINDS AND WAVES OBEY.
III
TIME IS SHORT THE MOMENTS SWIFTLY FLYING
MONEY CAN NOT BUY SWEET PEACE WITHIN.
YOU ARE LONGING SEEKING GROPING SIGHTING
YOU NEED ONE TO CLEANSE YOU FROM YOUR SIN.
CHORUS
TRY JESUS, HE NEVER FAILS
NEVER FAILS
O'RE EVIL, HIS LOVE PREVAILS
HIS LOVE PREVAILS
IN SUNSHINE, OR STORMY GALES
OUR MOST STORMY GALES
TRY JESUS, HE NEVER FAILS.
