Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way

I was wreched and blind as could be

But my Saviour, in love, gave me peace from above

When he reached down his hand for me

When the Saviour reached down for me

When he reached down his hand for me

I was lost and undone without God or his Son

When he reached down his hand for me

How my heart does rejoice, when I hear his sweet voice

In a tempest to him I can cling

I can lean on his arm, safe and sure from all harm

When he reaches down his hand for me

* Refrain
