Blessèd Saviour, Thee I love,
All my other joys above;
All my hopes in Thee abide,
Thou my Hope, and naught betide;
Ever let my glory be,
Only, only, only Thee.
Once again beside the cross,
All my gain I count but loss;
Earthly pleasures fade away,
Clouds they are that hide my day;
Hence, vain shadows! let me see
Jesus, crucified for me.
From beneath that thorny crown
Trickle drops of cleansing down:
Pardon from thy piercéd hand
Now I take while here I stand:
Only then I live to thee,
When thy wounded side I see.
Blessèd Saviour, Thine am I,
Thine to live, and Thine to die;
Height or depth, or creature power,
Ne’er shall hide my Saviour more;
Ever shall my glory be,
Only, only, only Thee.
