153. Whom Have We, Lord, but Thee | S.M. |
| by Mary Bowley |
|
|

|
| 1 | Whom have we, Lord, but Thee, | Psalm 73:25; John 6:68; John 4:14; Isaiah 55:1; Psalm 63:1 |
| Soul-thirst to satisfy? |
| Exhaustless spring! the waters free! |
| All other streams are dry. |
|
| 2 | Our hearts by Thee are set | Colossians 3:1-3; John 13:1; Romans 8:32 |
| On brighter things above; |
| Strange that we ever should forget |
| Thine own most faithful love. |
|
| 3 | Yet oft we credit not |
| He freely gives as God, |
| Though well we know our happy lot |
| In trusting to His blood. |
|
| 4 | None like the ransomed host | 1 Peter 1:19; Hebrews 4:16 |
| That precious blood have known; |
| Redemption gives faith's holy boast |
| To draw so near the throne. |
|
| 5 | Higher and higher yet! | 1 John 3:1-2 |
| Pleading that same life-blood; |
| We taste the love that knows no let, |
| Of Abba, as of God. |
