I Have No Other Comfort

Author: Alvin Grether Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #480 (2018) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 I have no other comfort which life and death endures than that I am my Savior's, whose death my life secures. To you with soul and body, O Jesus, I belong; you are my only Master and my Redeemer strong. 2 Your blood is full atonement for all my sin and guilt; the cross is all my glory; on you my faith is built. And you, my great deliv'rer, are my preserver too; you guide all of my footsteps, and lead me clearly through. 3 Whatever things betide me must serve to save my soul; the Father watches o'er me to keep me safe and whole. Yes, by the Holy Spirit I fully am assured that mine is life eternal according to your Word. 4 And so you make me willing with all my heart and mind to live for you, my Savior, so loving, true, and kind. To you with soul and body, O Jesus, I belong; you are my only Master and my Redeemer strong.
