Thou only Sovereign of my heart

Verse 1

Thou only Sov'reign of my heart, My refuge, my almighty Friend! And can my soul from Thee depart, On whom alone my hopes depend?

Verse 2

Whither, ah, whither shall I go, A wretched wand'rer from my Lord? Can this dark world of sin and woe One glimpse of happiness afford?

Verse 3

Eternal life Thy words impart; On these my fainting spirit lives; Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart Than all the round of nature gives.

Verse 4

Low at Thy feet my soul would lie; Here safety dwells, and peace divine; Still let me live beneath Thine eye, for life, eternal life, is Thine.
