That eye, that arm, that love to reach,
Intercedes for us above,
O Lord, my ear­nest cry
Not thus could Heav’n’s sweet har­mo­ny
start
O Thou, who to my hum­ble pray­er
Here Je­sus shows the way to Heav’n;
It falls like mu­sic from ab­ove,
The so­lemn words are sound­ing
The word so pure and ho­ly;
start
And sing in joy­ful lays.
Jesus, high in glo­ry,
The teach­ings of our mas­ter,
Follow Me! A call so ten­der
Oh, sing once more of Je­sus,
Let your lamps be trimmed with care.

list­en­ing ear

That pow­er is pray­er, which soars on high,
Make my way­ward heart sin­cere.
With Thy sal­va­tion an­swer me,
Thanks to my God for ev­ery gift
To what the an­gels say;
To Thee shall all man­kind re­pair,
Revives my heart, and checks my fear.
Come, tell the sto­ry,
Immortal life’s the quest­ion,
A spir­it meek and low­ly;
Come Heav’n’s me­lo­di­ous strains,
Comes sweet and sac­red song,
When we bow be­fore Thee,
He pro­mis­es to bless us—
’Tis the voice of Christ, my Sav­ior,
From yon­der world of glo­ry,
Catch with joy that wel­come sound:
