None Other Lamb, None Other Name

.

None other Lamb, none other name,

None other hope in heaven or earth or sea,

None other hiding place from guilt and shame,

None beside thee!

.

My faith burns low, my hope burns low;

Only my heart’s desire cries out in me

By the deep thunder of its want and woe,

Cries out to thee.

.

Chorus

None other Lamb, none other name,

None other hope in heaven or earth or sea,

None other hiding place from guilt and shame,

None beside thee!

.

Lord, thou art life, though I be dead;

Love’s fire thou art, however cold I be;

Nor heav’n have I, nor place to lay my head,

Nor home, but thee.
