I cannot do without thee,
O Savior of the lost!
Whose precious blood redeemed me
At such tremendous cost.

Cho. -- I cannot, would not,
Dare not, could not,
Will not do without thee.
I have no strength or goodness,
No wisdom of my own.

2 I cannot do without thee,
I cannot stand alone;
I have no strength or goodness,
No wisdom of my own.

3 I cannot do without thee,
I do not know the way;
Thou knowest and thou leadest,
And wilt not let me stray.

4 I cannot do without thee,
For years are fleeting fast,
And soon, in solemn loneliness,
The river must be passed.

Frances H. Havergal, Alt.
