Laudes Domini ‎#377

377. None but Jesus

1 None but Christ: his merit hides me,
He was faultless I am fair:
None but Christ, his wisdom guides me,
He was out-cast I'm his care.

2 None but Christ: his Spirit seals me,
Gives me freedom with control;
None but Christ, his bruising heals me,
And his sorrow soothes my soul.

3 None but Christ; his life sustains me,
Strength and song to me he is;
None but Christ, his love constrains me,
He is mine and I am his.
