A Hymn

LORD, I was blind, I could not see
Aught in Thy life's sweet purity;
But now, Truth shining on my night
Giveth eternal sight.

Lord, I was deaf, I could not hear
God's message to this world so drear;
But now, Thy voice comes from above,
Listening, I know 'tis Love.

Lord, I was dumb, I could not speak
Nor sing Thy words, O Master meek;
But now in humble prayer and praise
My voice to Thee I raise.

Lord, I was dead, I could not move
Nor wake, my sense of life to prove;
But now with joy, I rise to see
Life "All-in-all" with Thee.
