I sit a¤lone with God,
And while I thus re¤main,
His love re¤veals my lack of love,
A deep and crim¤son stain.

I sit a¤lone with God,
Con¤fused and si¤lent now;
Self lives and reigns where Christ should be,
And to this truth I bow.

I sit a¤lone with God,
I know self must de¤crease;
My soul has heard the bride¤groom’s voice,
And Christ, He must in¤crease.

I sit a¤lone with God,
His voice, how pass¤ing sweet,
De¤ny, for¤sake, for¤get thy¤self,
In Christ thou art com¤plete.

I sit a¤lone with God,
My soul is weaned and still,
Sub¤dued, sub¤mis¤sive and re¤signed
To all His Ho¤ly will.

I sit a¤lone with God,
My cen¤tre and my Sun,
Held fast in His di¤vine em¤brace;
Love’s might¤y work is done.
