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.
