I could not do without Thee,

I have no strength or goodness,
No wisdom of my own.
But Thou, belovèd Saviour,
Art all-in-all to me,
And weakness will be power
If leaning hard on Thee!

I could not do without Thee,
For oh! the way is long,

And sigh replaces song.
How could I do without Thee?
I do not know the way!
Thou knowest, and Thou leadest,
And wilt not let me stray.

I could not do without Thee,
O Jesus, Saviour dear!
E’en when my eyes are holden
I know that Thou art near.
How dreary and how lonely
This changeful life would be,
Without the sweet communion,
The secret rest with Thee.
