Naught but sin and misery; What Thy love and power can tell? Deep, immense, unsearchable. 3 Thro’ the year my life has been Marked by waywardness and sin; Yet Thou hast the wanderer blest, Thro’ my Lord’s unrighteousness. 4 Now I come to Thee for light, Guide and cheer in life’s dark night; Now I rest upon Thy Word, Dare to call Thee God and Lord.

Robert Harkness

1880 - 1961 Composer of "[Here I lift my heart and hand]" in Alexander's Hymns No. 4 After attending a revival meeting by Reuben Torrey and Charles M. Alexander, Harkness became Alexander’s pianist. He came to Christ shortly thereafter (on a bicycle, he said), and made several round the world tours with Torrey and Alexander. Harkness was especially well known for his program The Music of the Cross, and as the author of correspondence courses in hymn playing. He wrote over 2,000 hymns and Gospel songs in his lifetime.
