Saturday Poetry Corner: None Other Lamb

 

"Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven
given to men by which we must be saved."
(Acts 4:12)

Lamb of God

None other Lamb, none other Name,

None other hope in Heav'n 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.

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.

"None Other Lamb"
