Thou Only Sovereign of My Heart

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6868 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Thou only sovereign of my heart, My refuge, my almighty friend— And can my soul from Thee depart, On whom alone my hopes depend? 2. Whither, ah whither shall I go, A wretched wanderer from my Lord? Can this dark world of sin and woe One glimpse of happiness afford? 3. Eternal life Thy words impart; On these my fainting spirit lives; Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart Than all the round of nature gives. 4. Let earth’s alluring joys combine, While Thou art near, in vain they call; One smile, one blissful smile of Thine, My dearest Lord, outweighs them all.

Thou only Sovereign of my heart

Hymnal: Laudes Domini #648 (1884) Lyrics: 1 Thou only Sovereign of my heart, My Refuge, my almighty Friend-- And can my soul from thee depart, On whom alone my hopes depend! 2 Eternal life thy words impart; On these my fainting spirit lives; Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart, Than all the round of nature gives. 3 Thy name my inmost powers adore; Thou art my life, my joy, my care; Depart from thee--'tis death, 'tis more; 'Tis endless ruin, deep despair! 4 Low at thy feet my soul would lie; Here safety dwells, and peace divine; Still let me live beneath thine eye, For life, eternal life, is thine.
