Text

Alone to thee, Lord Jesus Christ,
My hope on earth regardeth;
I know thou art my comforter,
I have no other comfort.
Since time began, was nought ordained,
On earth there came no man to birth,
Who from my woe could help me flee.
I call to thee,
In whom I have placed all my trust.

Manuscript Yale University, New Haven
