Description
For SATB Choir. This is a lovely short motet with text by Christina Rossetti based on Rev. 5:6. Not too difficult, and wonderfully satisfying. Perfect for Lent or Holy Week. And you'll find other uses as well.

Lyrics
None other Lamb, none other Name,
None other hope in Heav’n or earth or sea,
None other hiding place from guilt and shame,
None beside Thee!
My faith burns low, my hope burns low;
Only my heart’s desire cries out in me
By the deep thunder of its want and woe,
Cries out to Thee.
Lord, Thou art Life, though I be dead;
Love’s fire Thou art, however cold I be:
Nor Heav’n have I, nor place to lay my head,
Nor home, but Thee.
