Lyrics

Whom have I in Heav’n above?
On­ly Thee, my Sav­ior;
Whom have I on earth to love?
On­ly Thee, my Sav­ior;
Who my wound­ed heart can heal,
Who my ev­ery sor­row feel,
Who the light of joy re­veal?
On­ly Thee, my Sav­ior.

Who has led me all my days?
On­ly Thou, my Sav­ior;
Who de­serves my high­est praise?
On­ly Thou, my Sav­ior;
In my weak­ness who is strong,
Who has loved and loved me long,
Who should claim my nob­lest song?
On­ly Thou, my Sav­ior.

Who my in­most thoughts can read?
On­ly Thou, my Sav­ior;
Who for me doth in­ter­cede?
On­ly Thou, my Sav­ior;
Who my sec­ret thoughts can know,
Who such ten­der mer­cy show,
Who can make me white as snow?
On­ly Thou, my Sav­ior.
