The New Christian Hymnal ‎#233

233. 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 do believe
That Jesus died for me;
And through 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:
O let me now receive that gift;
My soul without it dies. [Chorus]
