1. O Lord, within my soul,
I long for purity,
To be complete and whole
Alone through Thee.

Refrain
There is no other hope,
There is no other plea;
Salvation, full salvation free,
Must come alone through Thee.

2. I bend before Thy cross,
And know my heart can be
Cleansed from its sin and dross
Alone through Thee. [Refrain]

3. I pray at Thy dear feet,
Salvation full entreat,
And want to feel my love
In Thee complete. [Refrain]

4. My faith Thy Word believes,
The promise made to me,
And perfect peace receives
Alone through Thee. [Refrain]
