Representative Text

1 Both weak and blind, dear Lord, I am,
For now thy face I cannot see,
But I can hear thy gentle voice
Speak words of love to me.

Refrain:
O some day I shall see,
And some day clasp thy hand,
Yes, some day see thy face,
When in thy courts I stand.

2 But I can feel thy gentle touch,
And I can read thy blessed word,
And with thy mighty, throbbing love
My lonely heart is stirred. [Refrain]

3 Till then, dear Lord, but lead me on,
And guide me in the better way,
Lest groping in the darkness here
My feet should go astray. [Refrain]

4 And when at last my journey’s o’er,
Earth’s heavy burdens are laid down,
When tears are changed to pearls of joy,
My cross to jeweled crown. [Refrain]
