Lord, hast Thou not one word for me

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?

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.

One word, to show how near Thou art, For Thou dost dwell within my heart; And for Thy life I share a part; One word, O Lord! One word from Thee.

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.

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.
