Song written by:
Original in English: R. George Halls [R. G. Halls]

1
Whom have I Lord in Heav’n but Thee
None but Thee None but Thee
And this my song thro’ life shall be
Christ for me Christ for me
He hath for me the wine-press trod
He hath redeemed me by His blood
And reconciled my soul to God
Christ for me Christ for me

2
I envy not the rich their joys
Christ for me Christ for me
I covet not earth’s glitt’ring toys
Christ for me Christ for me
Earth can no lasting bliss bestow
Fading is stamped on all below
Mine is a joy no end can know
Christ for me Christ for me

3
Tho’ with the poor be cast my lot
Christ for me Christ for me
He knoweth best I murmur not
Christ for me Christ for me
Tho’ Vine and Fig-tree blight assail
The labor of the Olive fail
And death o’er flocks and herds prevail
Christ for me Christ for me

4
Tho’ I am now on hostile ground
Christ for me Christ for me
And sin beset me all around
Christ for me Christ for me
Let earth her fiercest battles wage
And foes against my soul engage
Strong in His strength I scorn their rage
Christ for me Christ for me

5
And when my life draws to its close
Christ for me Christ for me
Safe in His arms I shall repose
Christ for me Christ for me
When sharpest pains my frame pervade
And all the powers of nature fade
Still will I sing thro’ death’s cold shade
Christ for me Christ for me
