LyicsMy precious Lord, for thy dear name
I bear the cross, despise the shame;
Nor do I faint while thou art near;
I lean on thee, how can I fear?
No other name but thine is given
To cheer my soul in earth or heaven;
No other wealth will I require;
No other friend can I desire.
Yea, into nothing would I fall
For thee alone my All in all;
To feel thy love, my only joy;
To tell thy love, my sole employ.
