Sheet music

  1. 1Only in Thee, O Savior mine,Dwelleth my soul in peace divine,Peace that the world, tho’ all combine,Never can take from me.Pleasures of earth, so seemingly sweet,Fail at the last my longings to meet;Only in Thee my bliss is complete,Only, dear Lord, in Thee!
  2. 2Only in Thee a radiance bright,Shines like a beacon in the night,Guiding my pilgrim bark aright,Over life’s trackless sea.Only in Thee, when troubles molest,When with temptation I am oppressed,There is a sweet pavilion of rest,Only, dear Lord, in Thee!
  3. 3Only in Thee, when days are drear,When neither sun nor stars appear,Still I can trust and feel no fear,Sing when I cannot see.Only in Thee, whatever betide,All of my need is freely supplied;There is no hope nor helper beside,Only, dear Lord, in Thee!
  4. 4Only in Thee, dear Savior, slain,Losing Thy life my own to gain,Trusting, I’m cleansed from ev’ry stain;Thou art my only plea.Only in Thee my heart will delight,Till in that land where cometh no nightFaith will be lost in heavenly sight,Only, dear Lord, in Thee!
