Lord, hast Thou not one word for me

Lord

hast Thou not one word for me

To bind my soul more close to Thee

That every evil I may flee;

One word

O Lord! one word from Thee?

One word

to show how weak am I

When in my strength alone I try

In vain I toil

in vain I sigh;

One word

O Lord! one word from Thee.

One word

to show how near Thou art

For Thou dost dwell within my heart;

And of Thy life I share a part;

One word

O Lord! one word from Thee.

One word of power

oh

let me hear

Above the heart’s most anxious fear

Thy still

small voice

yet deep and clear;

One word

O Lord! one word from Thee.

One word of final triumph

Lord;

Sweet hope Thy promises afford

To dwell with Thee in sweet accord;

One word

O Lord! one word from Thee.
