Transformed

Author: Mrs. F. G. Burroughs Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6891 First Line: Dear Lord, take up our tangled strands Refrain First Line: Transformed by grace divine Lyrics: 1. Dear Lord, take up our tangled strands, Where we have wrought in vain, That by the skill of Thy dear hands Some beauty may remain. Refrain Transformed by grace divine, The glory shall be Thine; To Thy most holy will, O Lord, We now our all resign. 2. Touch Thou the sad, discordant keys Of every troubled breast, And change to peaceful harmonies The sighings of unrest. [Refrain] 3. Where broken vows in fragments lie— The toil of wasted years— Do Thou make whole again, we cry, And give a song for tears. [Refrain] 4. Take all the failures, each mistake Of our poor human ways, Then, Savior, for Thine own dear sake, Make them show forth Thy praise. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Dear Lord, take up our tangled strands]
