Text:Christ Alone
Author:Eliza M. Sherman
Tune:[Christ alone shall be my song]
Composer:J. R. Murray

72. Christ Alone

1 Christ alone shall be my song,
Christ alone my story;
From the cross a radiance shines
To the God of glory.

Refrain:
Christ alone! Christ alone!
Christ the hope of glory;
Christ alone! Christ alone!
Praise in song and story.

2 Christ alone shall be my praise,
For on Calv’ry’s mountain,
From His side in living flood
Flowed life’s precious fountain. [Refrain]

3 Christ alone shall be my trust,
And His love my pleading;
While He stands before God’s throne,
For me interceding. [Refrain]

4 Christ alone shall be my song,
He my sure foundation;
Christ my glory and my hope—
Christ my soul’s salvation. [Refrain]
