Light in the Valley ‎#101

101. I Do Believe

1 Father, I stretch my hands to Thee,
No other help I know;
If Thou withdraw Thyself from me,
Ah, whither shall I go?

Chorus:
I do believe, I now believe,
That Jesus died for me;
And thro' His blood, His precious blood,
I shall from sin be free.

2 What did thine only Son endure,
Before I drew my breath;
What pain, what labor to secure
My soul from endless death? [Chorus]

3 O Jesus, could I this believe,
I now should feel thy pow'r;
And all my wants Thou wouldst relieve,
In this accepted hour. [Chorus]

4 Author of faith, to Thee I lift,
My weary, longing eyes;
Oh, let me now receive that gift;
My soul without it dies. [Chorus]
