Lord, I was Blind
Lord, I was blind ; I could not see
In Thy marred visage any grace
But now the beauty of Thy face
In radiant vision dawns on me.
Lord, I was deaf ; I could not hear
the thrilling music of Thy voice ;
But now I hear Thee and rejoice,
And all Thine uttered words are dear !
Lord, I was dumb ; I would not speak
The grace and glory of Thy name ;
But now, as touched with living flame,
My lips Thine eager praises wake.
Lord, I was dead ; I could not stir
My lifeness soul to come to Thee ;
But now, since Thou hast quickened me,
I rise from sin's dark sepulcher.
For Thou hast made the blind to see,
The deaf to hear, the dumb to speak,
The dead to live ; and, lo, I break
The chains of my captivity.
