Without Thee Lord No Meaning

Thou didst form me Lord and set my soul free
Which dressed my days in doubt and illusion
Without Thee Lord no meaning can there be

Thou gavest me free will to choose to see
Yet let me roam about in confusion
Thou didst form me Lord and set my soul free

Thou dost know that sorrow grows deep in me
This day cannot promise me elusion
Without Thee Lord no meaning can there be

I once was Thine—Thou bid’st me go from Thee
I seek home in Thee as my conclusion
Thou didst form me Lord and set my soul free

O Thou surely hast some pure goal for me
I lost my faith living in seclusion
Without Thee Lord no meaning can there be

I tread the path that leads me back to Thee
Long and hard the road steeped in delusion
Thou didst form me Lord and set my soul free
Without Thee Lord no meaning can there be
