64. Lord Jesus Christ, in Thee alone

1 Lord Jesus Christ, in Thee alone
My only hope on earth I place;
For other comforter is none,
No help have I but in Thy grace.
There is no man nor creature here,
No angel in the heavenly sphere,
Who at my need can succour me;
I cry to Thee,
For Thou canst end my misery.

2 My sin is very sore and great,
I mourn beneath its horrid load;
O free me from this heavy weight,
My saviour, through Thy precious blood;
And with Thy Father for me plead
That Thou hast suffered in my stead;
From me the burden then is rolled;
Lord, I lay hold
On Thy dear promises of old.

3 And of Thy mercy now bestow
True Christian faith on me, O Lord!
That all the sweetness I may know
Which in Thy holy cross is stored,
Love Thee o'er earthly pride or pelf,
And love my neighbour as myself;
And when at last is come my end,
Be Thou my friend,
From all assaults my soul defend.

4 Glory to God in highest heaven,
The Father of eternal love;
To His dear Son for sinners given.
Whose watchful grace we daily prove;
To God the Holy Ghost on high;
O ever be His comfort nigh,
And teach us, free from sin and fear,
To please Him here,
And serve Him in the sinless sphere!
