None Other Lamb, None Other Name (Christina Rossetti Poem)

First Presbyterian Church of Baton Rouge

Please enjoy this poem by Christina Rossetti.
None other Lamb, none other name,
None other hope in heaven or earth or sea,
None other hiding place from guilt or shame,
None besides 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 heaven have I, nor place to lay my head,
Nor home, but thee.
Christina Rossetti, 1870.
