Only in Thee, O Savior mine
Dwelleth my soul in peace divine
Peace that the world, though all combine
Never can take from me
Pleasures of earth, so seemingly sweet
Fail at the last my longings to meet
Only in Thee my bliss is complete
Only, dear Lord, in Thee!
Only in Thee a radiance bright
Shines like a beacon in the night
Guiding my pilgrim bark aright
Over life’s trackless sea
Only in Thee, when troubles molest
When with temptation I am oppressed
There is a sweet pavilion of rest
Only, dear Lord, in Thee!
Only in Thee, when days are drear
When neither sun nor stars appear
Still I can trust and feel no fear
Sing when I cannot see
Only in Thee, whatever betide
All of my need is freely supplied
There is no help nor helper beside
Only, dear Lord, in Thee!

Only in Thee, dear Savior, slain
Losing Thy life my own to gain
Trusting, I’m cleansed from ev’ry stain
Thou art my only plea
Only in Thee my heart will delight
Till in that land where cometh no night
Faith will be lost in heavenly sight
Only, dear Lord, in Thee!
