1 Into Thy gracious hands I fall,
And with the arms of faith embrace;
O King of glory, hear my call;
O raise me, heal me by Thy grace,
O raise me, heal me by Thy grace.
2 Now blessed through Thy grace I am;
No condemnation now I dread;
I taste salvation in Thy Name,
Alive in Thee, my living Head,
Alive in Thee, my living Head.
3 Still let Thy wisdom be my guide,
Nor take Thy flight from me away;
Still with me let Thy grace abide,
That I from Thee may never stray,
That I from Thee may never stray.
4 Let Thy Word richly in me dwell,
Thy peace and love my portion be;
My joy to endure and do Thy will,
Till perfect I am found in Thee,
Till perfect I am found in Thee.
5 Arm me with Thy whole armor, Lord,
Support my weakness with Thy might;
Gird on my thigh Thy conquering sword,
And shield me in the threatening fight,
And shield me in the threatening fight.
6 From faith to faith, from grace to grace,
So in Thy strength shall I go on,
Till heaven and earth flee from Thy face,
And glory end what grace began,
And glory end what grace began.
7 O bliss! Accepted now I am
Through faith in Thy most holy name;
Thy blood applied, I rest in Thee,
Who for me died midst grief and shame,
Who for me died midst grief and shame.
