Whom have I in heaven but thee.
Psalm 73:25.
O Lord, thy counsels and thy care,
My safety and my comfort are;
And thou shalt guide me all my days,
Till glory crown the work of grace.
2 In whom but thee, in heaven above,
Can I repose my trust, my love?
And shall an earthly object be
Loved in comparison with thee?
3 My flesh is hastening to decay;
Soon shall the world have passed away;
And what can mortal friends avail,
When heart, and strength, and life shall fail?
4 But O! my Saviour, be thou nigh,
And I will triumph when I die;
My strength, my portion, is divine;
And Jesus is for ever mine!
