Christ, Thou Alone

Christ

Thou alone art my Lord

and no oth­er

Shall

on the throne of my heart

ri­val Thee;

Stronger Thy love than the love of a mo­ther

Deeper Thy peace than the depths of the sea.

Christ

Thou alone dost from bond­age de­liv­er

Bringing me free­dom and bless­èd re­lease;

Crushing the heart—then re­stor­ing for­ev­er

Pouring in­to it the balm of Thy peace.

Christ

Thou alone shalt be mas­ter and own­er;

Thou art the bride­groom

and we are the bride;

Faithful to Thee

to ob­ey and to hon­or

Robed as a queen we shall reign at Thy side.

Christ

Thou alone in­to har­bor shall guide me

After the jour­ney for­ev­er is o’er;

Safe in Thy glo­ry

no sha­dow to hide Thee

Sorrow and sigh­ing shall end ev­er­more.
