 1  Lord, hast Thou not one word for me

    To bind my soul more close to Thee,

    That every evil I may flee;

    One word, O Lord! one word from Thee?

 

 2  One word, to show how weak am I

    When in my strength alone I try,

    In vain I toil, in vain I sigh;

    One word, O Lord! one word from Thee.

 

 3  One word, to show how near Thou art,

    For Thou dost dwell within my heart;

    And of Thy life I share a part;

    One word, O Lord! one word from Thee.

 

 4  One word of power, oh, let me hear,

    Above the heart's most anxious fear,

    Thy still, small voice, yet deep and clear;

    One word, O Lord! one word from Thee.

 

 5  One word of final triumph, Lord;

    Sweet hope Thy promises afford,

    To dwell with Thee in sweet accord;

    One word, O Lord! one word from Thee.
