Spring

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 540 hymnals First Line: Father, I stretch my hands to thee Lyrics: 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 O Jesus, could I this believe, I now should feel thy pow'r! Now my poor soul thou wouldst retrieve, Nor let me wait one hour. 4 Author of faith, to thee I lift My weary, longing eyes; O let me now receive that gift; My soul without it dies!

Amen. Used With Tune: [My God, my Father, while I stray]
