My God! what cords
of love are Thine,
How gentle, yet how strong!
Thy truth and grace
their power combine
To draw our souls along.
The guilt of twice ten thousand sins
One moment takes away;
And when the fight of faith begins,
Our strength is as our day.
Comfort, through all this vale of tears,
In blest profusion flows;
And glory of unnumbered years
Eternity bestows.
Drawn by such cords
we’ll onward move
Till round the throne we meet,
And, captives in the chain of love,
Embrace our Saviour’s feet.
