Isaiah 42:16: Father, Thou dost conduct the bhnd

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Father, Thou dost conduct the bhnd
A way we had not known,
Through Thee the way to heaven we find
In Thy beloved Son;
Thou show'st us what we all must do.
Salvation to obtain;
And who their shining path pursue
Shall life eternal gain.

In Christ to our celestial home
Thou leadest us aright;
The crooked things are straight become,
The darkness turn'd to light;
Where'er Thou dost Thy Son reveal,
Thou dost Thy Spirit give.
And nothing is impossible
To us who can believe.

Kept in the way by power Divine,
Through faith we still go on.
And hang on that dear word of Thine,
"I will not leave My own!"
Our souls which trust Thy constant love
Thy constant love defends.
And brings us to Thy house above
Where faith in vision ends.
