1 Dear Redeemer, only Thee
Would my waiting spirit own,
Trusting in Thy sympathy,
Clinging close to Thee alone.
Refrain:
Clinging close, clinging close,
Clinging close to Thee alone.
2 Gracious Master, only Thee
Would my willing spirit serve,
Working with fidelity,
Pressing on with dauntless nerve. [Refrain]
3 Lord of glory, only Thee
Would my loving sprit praise,
Offering grateful melody,
Waking glad, immortal lays. [Refrain]
