1. Lord, hast Thou not one word for me
  To bind my soul more close to Thee,
  That every evil I may flee;
  One word, O Lord! one word from Thee?
2. One word, to show how weak am I
  When in my strength alone I try,
  In vain I toil, in vain I sigh;
  One word, O Lord! one word from Thee.
3. One word, to show how near Thou art,
  For Thou dost dwell within my heart;
  And for Thy life I share a part;
  One word, O Lord! one word from Thee.
4. One word of power, oh, let me hear,
  Above the heart's most anxious fear,
  Thy still, small voice, yet deep and clear;
  One word, O Lord! one word from Thee.
5. One word of final triumph, Lord;
  Sweet hope Thy promise afford,
  To dwell with Thee in sweet accord;
  One word, O Lord! one word from Thee.
