Lord, I was blind; I could not see (New Tune)

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 hast quickened me, I rise from sin's dark sepulcher.

For Thou hast 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.
