Only To Know That The Path I Tread
Is The Path Marked Out For Me ;
That The Way, Though Thorny, Rough, And Steep,
Will Lead Me Nearer To Thee !
Nearer To Thee ! Nearer To Thee !
Blessed Redeemer, To Thee !
Only To Know That The Path I Tread
Is Bringing Me Nearer To Thee !

Only To Know When The Day Is Past,
And The Evening Shadows Come,
That Its Trials And Cares Have Proved Indeed
A Day’s March Nearer Home !
Nearer My Home ! Nearer My Home !
Nearer My Beautiful Home !
Only To Know That Each Fast-Fleeting Day
Is Bringing Me Nearer Home !

Only To Know That The Cross I See
Is The Cross Of Calvary,
On Which The World’s Redeemer Died,
To Purchase Life For Me ! [Me !
Purchased For Me ! Purchased For
Life Thou Hast Purchased For Me!
Only To Know That Thy Death On The Cross
Brings Light And Life To Me !

Only To Know His Peace Within,
My Will To His Resigned ;
Oh, Fill Me With Thy Fulness, Lord,
And Make Me Wholly Thine !
Wholly Thine ! Wholly Thine !
Now And For Ever Thine !
Fill Me With Love And Peace Divine,
And Make Me Wholly Thine !
