1 None else but Thee, forevermore,
one whom we fear, believe, adore;
great earth and heaven shall have their day,
and worn and old shall pass away.
But Thou remainest on Thy throne,
eternal, changeless, and alone!
2 None else we praise! in every form,
in peace of calm and power of storm;
in simple flower and wondrous star,
in all around and all afar.
In grandeur, beauty, truth, but Thee,
none else we hear, none else we see!
3 None else we know with Father's love,
who called us children from above;
who by Thy word made earth and heaven,
and from the dust our life hath given.
None other source of life and breath,
none other one can conquer death!
4 None else we trust! our flesh may fail;
our heart may sink when foes assail;
but Thou art strength to be our stay,
and glory not to pass away.
None else in life and death have we,
but we have all in all with Thee!
5 Yea, none but Thee all worlds confess,
and those redeemed ones numberless;
none else, from everlasting One,
and evermore beside Thee none.
Of all that is, has been, shall be,
Father of Life, none else but Thee!
