When he reached down

Marion Easterling, Thomas and JFB Wright; My mothers hymn book, 10

Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way
I was wretched and blind as could be
But my Savior in love gave me peace from above
When He reached down His hand for me

When the Savior 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
