One heart alone with changeless love appeals

Hymn Text
Verse 1
One heart alone with changeless love appeals
To ev’ry soul in tender accent sweet,
Abide in me, no friend more keenly feels
The coldness of thy heart's responsive beat.
Verse 2
"In hours of trial, within this tearful vale,
At my pierced feet your secret burdens lay:
In life nor death, my aid shall never fail
Those chosen ones who make my heart
their stay. (2x)
Verse 3
Good Master, long my weary feet have strayed
O'er thorny ways and rugged mountains
But oh! Thy heart, thy voice, thy constant aid
Upheld my soul above the chasm so deep. (2x)
Verse 4
And thou, my Queen, whose fond complacent gaze
To me is more than all this world bestows;
Let that sweet light within thy glist’ning
Illume the way which leads to heav'n's repose (2x)
