|
<p>Wide open are Thy hands,<br>
|
|
Paying with more than gold<br>
|
|
The awful debt of guilty men,<br>
|
|
Forever and of old.<br>
|
|
Ah, let me grasp those hands,<br>
|
|
That we may never part,<br>
|
|
And let the power of their blood<br>
|
|
Sustain my fainting heart.</p>
|
|
<p>Wide open are Thine arms,<br>
|
|
A fallen world to embrace;<br>
|
|
To take to love and endless rest<br>
|
|
Our whole forsaken race.<br>
|
|
Lord, I am sad and poor,<br>
|
|
But boundless is Thy grace;<br>
|
|
Give me the soul transforming joy<br>
|
|
For which I seek Thy face.</p>
|
|
<p>Draw all my mind and heart<br>
|
|
Up to Thy throne on high,<br>
|
|
And let Thy sacred cross exalt<br>
|
|
My spirit to the sky.<br>
|
|
To these, Thy mighty hands,<br>
|
|
My spirit I resign;<br>
|
|
Living, I live alone to Thee,<br>
|
|
Dying, alone am Thine.</p>
