"Lord! I was blind I could not see"

Hymn written by W. T. Matson
  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.
  1. Lord! I was deaf, I could not hear
        The thrilling music of Thy voice;
        But now I hear Thee and rejoice,
    And sweet are all Thy words, and dear!
  1. 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!
  1. 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 sepulchre!
  1. For Thou hast made the blind to see,
        The deaf to hear, the dumb to speak,
        The dead to live; and thou didst break
    The chains of my captivity!
