In Thee Alone, O Christ, My Lord

In Thee alone

O Christ

my Lord

My hope on earth re­main­eth;

I know Thou wilt Thine aid af­ford

Naught else my soul sus­tain­eth.

No strength of man

no earth­ly stay

Can help me in the ev­il day;

Thou

on­ly Thou

canst aid sup­ply.

To Thee I cry;

On Thee I bid my heart re­ly.

My sins

O Lord

against me rise

I mourn them with con­tri­tion;

Grant

thro’ Thy death and sac­ri­fice

To me a full re­mis­sion.

Lord

show be­fore the Fa­ther’s throne

That Thou didst for my sins atone;

So shall I from my load be freed.

Thy Word I plead;

Keep me

O Lord

each hour of need.

O Lord

in mer­cy stay my heart

On faith’s most sure foun­da­tion

And to my in­most soul im­part

Thy per­fect con­so­la­tion.

Fill all my life with love to Thee

T’ward all men grant me char­ity;

And at the last

when comes my end

Thy suc­cor send.

From Sa­tan’s wiles my soul de­fend.
