Christ, Thou alone art my Lord,
and no other
Shall, on the throne of my heart,
rival Thee;
Stronger Thy love
than the love of a mother,
Deeper Thy peace
than the depths of the sea.
Christ, Thou alone
dost from bondage deliver,
Bringing me freedom
and blessèd release;
Crushing the heart—
then restoring forever,
Pouring into it
the balm of Thy peace.
Christ, Thou alone
shalt be master and owner;
Thou art the bridegroom,
and we are the bride;
Faithful to Thee,
to obey and to honor,
Robed as a queen
we shall reign at Thy side.
Christ, Thou alone
into harbor shall guide me,
After the journey
forever is o’er;
Safe in Thy glory,
no shadow to hide Thee,
Sorrow and sighing
shall end evermore.
