1. 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.
2. 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!
3. Lord, I was dumb; I would not speak
  The grace and glory of Thy name;
  But now, as touched with living flame,
  My lips Thine eager praises wake.
4. 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.
5. 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.
