Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #VII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns Lyrics: 1 Father, I stretch mine 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 labour to secure
My soul from endless death!
3 Author of faith, to thee I lift
My weary, longing eyes;
O let me now receive that gift!—
My soul without it dies!
