Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E29 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Father, I stretch my hand to Thee Lyrics: 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 Surely Thou canst not let me die;
Oh, speak and I shall live;
And here I will unwearied lie,
Till Thou Thy Spirit give.
4 Author of faith! to Thee I lift
My weary, longing eyes:
Oh, let me now receive that gift!
My soul without it dies. Topics: Repentance Languages: English Tune Title: NAOMI
