Boundless Love ‎#160

160. My Lord and My God

1 Tho’ we have not touch’d his hands,
Tho’ we have not press’d his side,
We may hear his sweet commands,
And adore the Crucified.

Refrain:
He who lived, and loved, and died,
Left a blessing wide and free
For the tempted and the tried,
Tho’ his face they cannot see.

2 We may reach the hand of faith,
We may touch his throbbing heart,
And be blessed of him who saith
His rich grace he will impart. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ we have not seen the trace
Of the cruel nails or spear,
We will see his loving face,
We may feel his presence near. [Refrain]

4 We may learn to know his voice,
And the path his feet have trod,
And with him of old rejoice
In our Saviour and our God [Refrain]
