1 Father, I stretch my hands to thee,
No other help I know;
If thou withdraw thyself from me,
Ah! whither shall I go?
2 What did thine only Son endure,
Before I drew my breath!
What pain, what labor to secure
My soul from endless death!
3 O Jesus, could I this believe,
I now should feel thy pow'r!
Now my poor soul thou wouldst retrieve,
Nor let me wait one hour.
4 Author of faith, to thee I lift
My weary, longing eyes;
O let me now receive that gift;
My soul without it dies!
