|
<p>I could not do without Thee<br>
|
|
O Savior of the lost,<br>
|
|
Whose precious blood redeemed me<br>
|
|
At such tremendous cost.<br>
|
|
Thy righteousness, thy pardon<br>
|
|
Thy precious blood, must be<br>
|
|
My only hope and comfort,<br>
|
|
My glory and my plea.</p>
|
|
<p>I could not do without Thee,<br>
|
|
I cannot stand alone,<br>
|
|
I have no strength or goodness,<br>
|
|
No wisdom of my own;<br>
|
|
But Thou, beloved Savior,<br>
|
|
Art all in all to me,<br>
|
|
And weakness will be power<br>
|
|
If leaning hard on Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>I could not do without Thee,<br>
|
|
For O the way is long,<br>
|
|
And I am often weary,<br>
|
|
And sigh replaces song:<br>
|
|
How could I do without Thee?<br>
|
|
I do not know the way;<br>
|
|
Thou knowest, and Thou leadest,<br>
|
|
And wilt not let me stray.</p>
|
|
<p>I could not do without Thee,<br>
|
|
O Jesus, Savior dear;<br>
|
|
E’en when my eyes are holden,<br>
|
|
I know that Thou art near.<br>
|
|
How dreary and how lonely<br>
|
|
This changeful life would be,<br>
|
|
Without the sweet communion,<br>
|
|
The secret rest with Thee!</p>
|
|
<p>I could not do without Thee;<br>
|
|
No other friend can read<br>
|
|
The spirit’s strange deep longings,<br>
|
|
Interpreting its need;<br>
|
|
No human heart could enter<br>
|
|
Each dim recess of mine,<br>
|
|
And soothe, and hush, and calm it,<br>
|
|
O blessèd Lord, but Thine.</p>
|
|
<p>I could not do without Thee,<br>
|
|
For years are fleeting fast,<br>
|
|
And soon in solemn oneness<br>
|
|
The river must be passed;<br>
|
|
But Thou wilt never leave me,<br>
|
|
And though the waves roll high,<br>
|
|
I know Thou wilt be near me,<br>
|
|
And whisper, “It is I.”</p>
