Father, I Stretch My Hands to Thee

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 540 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, I stretch my hands to Thee, No other help I know; If Thou withdraw Thyself from me, Ah! whither shall I go? 2 What did Thine only Son endure, Before I drew my breath! What pain, what labor to secure My soul from endless death! 3 Surely Thou canst not let me die, O speak and I shall live; And here I will unwearied lie, Till Thou Thy spirit give. 4 Author of faith! to Thee I lift My weary, longing eyes; O let me now receive that gift! My soul without it dies. Topics: Hymns Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
