Christ My Song - 474
He speaks! The gracious words I hear - Thee, only thee
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Thee, only thee.
1. He speaks! The gracious words I hear;
gently he bids me now draw near;
he calls me, and I know his tone,
'tis love that speaks, and love alone.
I would not wait, but come! PDF - Midi
2. No more earth's siren song has charms
to lure me to the siren's arms;
Saviour, thou callest, and I come,
thy cross my guide, my star, my home.
I rise and follow thee.
3. Thou art my all, above, below;
let every earthly idol go;
my God and Lord, to thee I come,
my treasure and my song; for whom
have I in heaven but thee?
4. Oh, speak again, oh, speak each hour,
speak in almighty love and power;
speak to this faithless, trustless heart,
bid doubt and unbelief depart,
and let me cleave to thee!
Horatius Bonar, Hymns of Faith and Hope III, 1878, 27-28.
