| Text: | Lord, to whom except to Thee |
| Author: | John Samuel Bewley Monsell |
| Tune: | ST. BEES |
| Composer: | John B. Dykes |
1 Lord, to whom except to Thee
Shall our wandering spirits go,
Thee Whom it is light to see,
And eternal life to know?
2 Lord, to whom except to Thee
Shall we go when ills betide?
Who except Thyself can be
Hope and help and strength and guide?
3 Who can cleanse the soul from sin,
Hear the prayer, and seal the vow?
Who can fill the void within,
Blessèd Saviour, who but Thou?
4 Therefore evermore I'll give
Thanks and praise, my God, to Thee;
Evermore in Thee I live,
Evermore live Thou in me.
Amen.
