Jesus, in whom but thee above
Can I repose my trust, my love?
And shall an earthly object be
Loved in comparison with thee?
How soon, O Lord, will life decay
How soon this world will pass away!
Ah! what can mortal friends avail
When heart, and strength, and life shall fail?
O then be thou, my Saviour, nigh,
And I will triumph while I die:
My strength, my portion, is divine,
And Jesus is for ever mine.
