Only.
I
Only a mortal's powers,Weak at their fullest strength;
Only a few swift-flashing hours,
Short at their fullest length.
II
Only a page for the eye,Only a word for the ear,
Only a smile, and by and by
Only a quiet tear.
III
Only one heart to give,Only one voice to use;
Only one little life to live,
And only one to lose.

IV
Poor is my best, and small:How could I dare divide?
Surely my Lord shall have it all,
He shall not be denied!
V
All! for far more I oweThan all I have to bring;
All! for my Saviour loves me so!
All! for I love my King!
VI
All! for it is His own,He gave the tiny store;
All! for it must be His alone;
All! for I have no more.
VII
All! for the last and leastHe stoopeth to uplift:
The altar of my great High Priest
Shall sanctify my gift.
