Psalm of the day

This psalm is to be found in the book that we use for staff praise and worship.

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.

Lord, I was deaf! I could not hear

The thrilling music of Thy voice.

But now I hear Thee and rejoice

And all Thine uttered words are dear.

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.

Lord, I was dead! I could not stir

My lifeless soul to come to Thee.

But now, since Thou has quickened me

I rise from sin's dark selpuchre.

For Thou hast made the blind to see,

The deaf to hear, the dumb to speak,

The dead to live; and lo, I break

The chains of my captivity.
