The Hymnal ‎#512

512. O Saviour, I have naught to plead

1 O Saviour, I have naught to plead,
In earth beneath or heaven above,
But only my exceeding need,
And Thy exceeding love.

2. The need will soon be past and gone—
Exceeding great, but quickly o’er;
The love unbought is all Thine own,
And lasts forevermore.

Amen.
