Lord, I was blind! I could not see
In Thy marred visage any grace:
But now the beauty of Thy face
In radiant vision dawns on me.
Lord, I was deaf! I could not hear
The thrilling music of Thy voice;
But now I hear Thee and rejoice,
And all Thine uttered words are dear.
Lord , I was dumb! I could not speak
The grace and glory of Thy name:
But now, as touched with living flame,
My lips Thine eager praises wake.
Lord, I was dead! I could not stir
My lifeless soul to come to Thee;
But now, since Thou has quickened me,
I rise from sins dark sepulchre.
For Thou has made the blind to see,
The deaf to hear, the dumb to speak,
The dead to live; and lo, I break
The chains of my captivity!
