Thou Only Sovereign of My Heart

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 221 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thou only sovereign of my heart, My refuge, my almighty friend— And can my soul from Thee depart, On whom alone my hopes depend? 2. Whither, ah whither shall I go, A wretched wanderer from my Lord? Can this dark world of sin and woe One glimpse of happiness afford? 3. Eternal life Thy words impart; On these my fainting spirit lives; Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart Than all the round of nature gives. 4. Let earth’s alluring joys combine, While Thou art near, in vain they call; One smile, one blissful smile of Thine, My dearest Lord, outweighs them all. Used With Tune: REPOSE (Harmonia) Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760
