Lord, whom in heaven, but thee alone,
Have I, whose favour I require?
Throughout the spacious earth there’s none
That I, beside thee, can desire.
My trembling flesh and aching heart
May often fail to succour me;
But God shall inward strength impart,
And my eternal portion be.
For they that far from thee remove,
Shall into sudden ruin fall:
If after other gods they rove,
Thy vengeance shall destroy them all.
But as for me, ‘tis good and just
That I should still to God repair;
In him I always put my trust,
And will his wondrous works declare.
