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 way down 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 the tempest to him I can cling 

There to lean on his arm safe secure from all harm 

When he reached down his hand for me
