Whom have I, Lord, in heav¡¦n but Thee?
None but Thee! None
but Thee!
And this my song thro¡¦ life shall be:
Christ for
me! Christ for me!
He hath for me the ser-pent trod,
He
hath re-deemed me ¡§by His blood,¡¨
And rec-on-ciled my soul to
God:
Christ for me! Christ for me!
I envy not the rich their joys:
Christ for me! Christ for me!
I covet not earth's glitt'rng toys;
Christ for me! Christ for me!
Earth can no lasting bliss bestow;
"Fading" is stamped on all below;
Mine is a joy no end can know:
Christ for me! Christ for me!
Though I am now on hostile ground,
Christ for me! Christ
for me!
And sin beset me all around,
Christ for me! Christ
for me!
Let earth her fiercest battles wage,
And foes
against my soul engage,
Strong in His strength I scorn their
rage:
Christ for me! Christ for me!
And when my life draws to its close,
Christ for me! Christ
for me!
Safe in His arms I shall repose.
Christ for me!
Christ for me!
When sharpest pains my frame pervade,
And
all the powers of nature fade,
Still will I sing through
death¡¦s cold shade:
Christ for me! Christ for me!
