	FAITH AND CONSECRATION

	311



				4 I could not do without Thee, 0 Jesus, Saviour dear; E'en when my eyes are holden, 1 know that Thou art near. How dreary and how lonely This changeful life would be, Without the sweet communion, The secret rest with Thee! 6 I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneliness The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper, " It is I." Frances R. Havergal, 1S73
	2 I could not do without Thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But Thou, belovfcd Saviour, Art all in all to me, And weakness will be power If leaning hard on Thee. 3 I could not do without Thee, For, oh, the way is long, And I am often weary, And sigh replaces song: How could I do without Thee? I do not know the way; Thou knowest, and Thou leadest, And wilt not let me stray.
