Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way

I was wretched and blind as could be

But my Saviour, in love, gave me peace from above

When he reached down his hand for me

Chorus:

When the Saviour 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

Chorus:

When the Saviour reached down for me
