1. Lord Jesus Christ, in Thee alone
I. The Only Helper.
Lord Jesus Christ, in Thee alone My hope on earth I place; For other comforter is none, Nor help save in Thy . There is no man nor creature here, No angel in the heavenly sphere, Who at my need can succour me; I cry to Thee, For Thou canst end my misery.
My sin is very sore and great, I mourn beneath its load; Oh free me from this heavy weight Through Thy most precious blood; And with Thy Father for me plead That Thou hast suffer'd in my stead, The burden then from me is roll'd; Lord, I lay hold On Thy dear promises of old.
And of Thy grace on me bestow True Christian faith, O Lord, That all the sweetness I may know That in Thy cross is stored, Love Thee o'er earthly pride or pelf, And love my neighbour as myself; And when at last is come my end, Be Thou my Friend, From all assaults my soul defend.
Glory to God in highest heaven, The Father of all love; To His dear Son, for sinners given Whose grace we daily prove; To God the we cry, That we may find His comfort , And learn how, free from sin and fear, To please Him here, And serve Him in the sinless sphere.
Allein zu dir Herr Jesu Christ
