Only Thou

Representative Text

1 Thou whose blood was shed for me,
Calmly in spirit I’m resting in Thee;
Trusting Thy promise, whatever befall,
Thou my Redeemer, my Refuge, my All.
Only Thou my strength shalt be;
Jesus my Saviour, I’m trusting in Thee.

2 Thou whose grace upholds me still,
Making me ever a child of Thy will,
Under Thy shadow how peaceful my way,
Singing Thy goodness from day unto day;
Only Thou my hope shalt be;
Jesus, my Saviour, I’m happy in Thee.

3 Only Thou canst hide my soul
Safe from the tempest and billows that roll;
Though I must enter the valley so drear,
Thou wilt be with me, no evil I fear;
Only Thou my theme shalt be,
Over the river in glory with Thee.
