7. There's Only One

1 There’s only One whose pity falls
Like dew upon the wounded heart;
There’s only One who never stirs,
Tho’ enemy and friend depart.

Refrain:
There’s only One, there’s only One
Can make us ever truly blest;
There’s only One, there’s only One
Can give us peace and perfect rest.

2 There’s only One who is not harsh,
But tenderness itself to all;
There’s only One who knows each heart,
And listens to its faintest call. [Refrain]

3 There’s only One who can support,
And who sufficient grace can give
To bear up under ev’ry grief,
And spotless in this world to live. [Refrain]

4 O blessed Jesus, Friend of friends,
Come, hide us ‘neath thy shelt’ring arm;
Come down amid this wicked world,
And keep us from its guilt and harm. [Refrain]

5 Thou art the One, the only One
For whom no love too warm can flow;
Thou art the One, the only one
Who givest perfect rest below. [Refrain]
