No, Not My Power

No

not my pow­er

but Thine

O Lord

Can suc­cor me

or peace af­ford.

Thy Spir­it

Lord

Thy gen­tle voice

Alone can make this heart re­joice!

No

not my pow­er—nor aught I have—

Nor aught in earth can be my stay;

’Tis Thou and Thou alone canst save!

Oh

Lord

I need Thee ev­ery day.

No

not my pow­er

oh

Sav­ior

dear!

Can soothe one pain

can dry one tear;

How soon would fail my fee­ble pow­er

Except Thou help me eve­ry hour!

No

not my pow­er

most ho­ly One!

Can com­fort when life’s race is run;

Alas! the help of man

how vain

Except Thy Spir­it

Lord

re­main!

No

not my pow­er

al­migh­ty God!

Could stand be­neath Thy chast­en­ing rod;

Except Thou

Lord

in love ap­pear

To draw Thy Ho­ly Spir­it near!

No

not my pow­er

oh

Lord of earth!

Can save me from the jaws of death;

’Tis Thou

Thy Spir­it

Lord

I need!

’Tis Thou

alone canst raise the dead!
