No, Not My Power

Author: E. Manford Clark Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11086 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: No, not my power, but Thine, O Lord Refrain First Line: No, not my power—nor aught I have Lyrics: 1 No, not my power, but Thine, O Lord Can succor me, or peace afford. Thy Spirit, Lord, Thy gentle voice, Alone can make this heart rejoice! Refrain: No, not my power—nor aught I have— Nor aught in earth can be my stay; ’Tis Thou and Thou alone canst save! Oh, Lord, I need Thee every day. 2 No, not my power, oh, Savior, dear! Can soothe one pain, can dry one tear; How soon would fail my feeble power Except Thou help me every hour! [Refrain] 3 No, not my power, most holy One! Can comfort when life’s race is run; Alas! the help of man, how vain, Except Thy Spirit, Lord, remain! [Refrain] 4 No, not my power, almighty God! Could stand beneath Thy chastening rod; Except Thou, Lord, in love appear, To draw Thy Holy Spirit near! [Refrain] 5 No, not my power, oh, Lord of earth! Can save me from the jaws of death; ’Tis Thou, Thy Spirit, Lord, I need! ’Tis Thou, alone canst rise the dead! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: TAHITI
