The Word Alone

What comfort is there in life?
What peace is there in strife?
Can there be any in a wife?
None but Christ, not but Christ,

In the depths of despair
Who can compare,
To the consolation of salvation
None but Christ, none but Christ,

Who can cheer the heart with joy?
Who can rise the soul to joy?
There is no hope in this world,
None but Christ, none but Christ,

For Christ is the way to the Father
No other way, so do not bother
To search in the vain things of earth
None but Christ, None but Christ.
