Only in Thee, when troubles molest, When with temptation I am oppressed, There is a sweet pavilion of rest, Only, dear Lord, in Thee! 3 Only in Thee, when days are drear, When neither sun nor stars appear, Still I can trust and feel no fear, Sing when I cannot see. Only in Thee, whatever betide, All of my need is freely supplied; There is no help nor helper beside, Only, dear Lord, in Thee! 4 Only in Thee, dear Savior, slain, Losing Thy life my own to gain, Trusting, I’m cleansed from ev’ry stain; Thou art my only plea. Only in Thee my heart will delight, Till in that land where cometh no night Faith will be lost in heavenly sight, Only, dear Lord, in Thee! Used With Tune: [Only in Thee, O Savior mine]

The nations round Thy form shall view, With luster new Divinely crowned. 3 In honor to His Name Reflect that sacred light, And loud that grace proclaim Which makes thy darkness bright. Pursue His praise, Till sovereign Love In worlds above Thy glory raise. 4 There, on His holy hill, A brighter Sun shall rise, And with His radiance fill Those fairer, purer skies; While round His throne, Ten thousand stars In nobler spheres His influence own.
