None but Christ

Verse 1

"None but Christ," my soul is crying, Sweetest peace there comes to me, Everlasting joy and pleasure, Since, O God, I'm stayed on Thee.

Chorus

Stayed on Thee, Stayed on Thee, Sweetest peace within abideth, Since my mind is stayed on Thee.

Verse 2

Raging storms of sore afflictions, Sweeping o'er life's open sea, Fright me not, I've cast my anchor, And my mind is stayed on Thee.

Verse 3

Earth's reproach I bear with pleasure, If for Christ it all may be; Thou, I know, wilt ne'er forsake me, Since my mind is stayed on Thee.

Verse 4

Short or long may be my journey, Ere Thy face, O Lord, I see; Yet e'en now I know Thou'rt with me, Since my mind is stayed on Thee.
