I Do Believe

Father, I stretch my hands to Thee;

No other help I know;

If Thou withdraw Thyself from me,

Ah, whither shall I go?

On Thy dear Son I now believe,

O let me feel Thy power;

And all my varied wants relieve,

In this accepted hour.

Author of faith! to Thee I lift

My weary, longing eyes;

O let me now receive that gift;

My soul without it dies.

Surely Thou canst not let me die;

O speak, and I shall live;

And here I will unwearied lie,

Till Thou Thy Spirit give.

How would my fainting soul rejoice

Could I but see Thy face!

Now let me hear Thy quickening voice,

And taste Thy pardoning grace.

I do believe, I now believe

That Jesus died for me,

And that He shed His precious blood

From sin to set me free.
