None Other Lamb

  1. 1None other Lamb, none other name,None other hope in Heav'n or earth or sea,None other hiding place from guilt and shame,None beside Thee!
  2. 2My faith burns low, my hope burns low;Only my heart's desire cries out in meBy the deep thunder of its want and woe,Cries out to Thee.
  3. 3Lord, Thou art life, though I be dead;Love's fire Thou art, however cold I be:Nor Heav'n have I, nor place to lay my head,Nor home, but Thee.
